It hasn't changed. As @Danishfurniturelover says the whole structure was designed with a 20 year life span.

Well I was at Balfour Beatty when we priced it as a conversion to a permanent building

I know that you're in construction and I should've acknowledged that in my last post. What we've been told is different.

It was a temporary structure. The only semi permanent part was the main stand area. No lower tier or roof. That's all been replaced
It's a fecking sham of a job IMO. The cost is more than a new stadium would have cost in reality.
They have Laos built offices, suites etc... And toilets for the scummers
The o2 was built the same way with a membrane roof but I don't know how their keeping that going

They even didn't allow for normal drainage or power as was temporary. Don't know what they have done about that
It was so bad they didn't have anywhere to go down for the temporary seats... Hence why it's costing them £8m

Very good.
It was temporary by design, was meant to be mostly taken apart and reduced to 25k (?) athletics only venue.

Eco warriors and planning issues
If it's temporary no one complains even if it costs a shed load of £££
The Ciry of Manchester was brilliant and well planned from the start. We even had a special high lift crane built for putting in the lower tier seats after the games. All well thought out and organised
London is part of the problem.... Too much money and never enough time

That is just bonkers. Are they even making that back on the events in between!? After costs of those events and giving a cut to promoters/ artists etc. how much is left over and above the £16 million? Any?
I suppose its a concern that it is so unworkable, wham might get to knock it down and build a purpose built stadium as Levy wanted all along.

Then Daniel says oh no you can't we did not win the tender because it has to stay as an athletics stadium. compensation please.
