Financial Costs of London Stadium Seating Change

The video discusses the design and conversion challenges of a stadium intended to switch between football and athletics modes. Initially designed for quick and cost-effective conversion using retractable seats, the stadium faces significant technical issues, particularly in the east stands. These problems have led to increased time and cost estimates, with the conversion now expected to take 15 days in each direction and cost up to £8 million. The complexity of the conversion process was underestimated, leading to these challenges.
