Looked like they had not quite finished it, the bars seemed reasonably organised, but generally whole feel was disapointing. What it does have over wembley is the transport link and with westfield loads of places to eat and drink.
was in the lower tier so view pretty good view of the game.
Don't think you could really compare it to the KC, atmosphere was pretty poor again but that's the nature of international rugby league in England. 20 odd thou against 40 odd the crowd still had very little to shout about so pretty morgue like.

What if it was England v Aus? It'd be a sellout no problem

No, I'm making a direct comparison between two stadia that had a lot of money spent on them and how the Olympic stadium could/should have been better for fans for the amount of money spent given the extra £272M spent to make it into what is primarily going to be a soccer stadium. if you can't grasp that, that's your problem not mine.

The proximity to central London was great in comparison to Wembley. 2 short tube stops was a bonus.

It would be nice to see a 10 year plan for international rugby league to create some structure and the Olympic stadium should well be part of that. It would also make a decent magic weekend venue. Maybe alternate it with sjp having it London when England are down under.

Isn't that the new White Hart Lane which will be larger?

The core problem with the Olympic stadium was it was a mish-mash of ideas, the original plan was all about being eco friendly and leaving an athletics legacy, with the top tiers to be taken off the ground and the seats donated to charity/other sports. Leaving a 25k athletics ground. Years later the new government realised that athletics grounds are a financial black hole so they've retro fitted it in to a football stadium, and had to put things like bars/food outlets in which were previously outside the ground and temporary. A new roof also cost a fortune,my the original one didn't cover all the seats to save costs and I believe there are rules on the lighting/size of roof for some Olympic events.

Ideally the design should have been either like the Etihad where the running track was temporary and then bombed and a new lower tier and end stand added near the pitch, or designed to have retractable seats from the outset like the Stade De France.

All in all it may not be perfect but there are further changes to come when West Ham move in, and I still think it's an untapped part of London that RL can exploit.
