THFC unveils Olympic Park stadium vision
Tottenham Hotspur Football Club (THFC) has unveiled its vision for the future of London's Olympic Stadium if it is the successful bidder for the venue.
The Premier League club is working with O2 Arena operator AEG on the venture, which is to feature a new-build 60,000-seat stadium on the site of the flagship Olympic Park site. Crystal Palace Athletics Stadium would also be redeveloped as part of THFC's plans, which are being considered by the Olympic Park Legacy Company (OPLC).
THFC chair Daniel Levy said: "Accusations that we would 'demolish' £500m of stadium are hugely inaccurate and highly irresponsible and I want to be very clear on this issue. "Our proposal will retain around £420m worth of the Olympic Stadium, and we will re-use or recycle the £80m that will be dismantled with zero landfill."
West Ham United Football Club/Newham Council are also bidding to secure the future use of the Olympic Stadium, while the OPLC will consider a third option for a 25,000-seat mixed-use venue too.
