London Stadium is one of the originally multi purpose venues in UK instead of for football only. It was built from 2008 to 2011 for London 2012 Olympics and located in a huge and advanced multi sports complex in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Stratford, London, along with other sport venues such as London Aquatic Center, Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Center, basketball and water polo arena. After the summer olympic, the venue has been the home turf for West Ham United since 2016.
Facilities
Considering the joint location with other venues in the Olympic Park, London Stadium’s facilities are not considerably many apart from car park, health care center, running track, cycle racks for bicycle, cash machine and multi faith rooms. The other supporting facilities such as the park, media room, and observation tower belongs to Olympic Park.
Historic Matches
The highest attendance record in London Stadium was the first home game of The Hammers in the Premier League 2016/2017 season with 56,977 people when they played host to Bournemouth. Declan Rice and Co managed to come from behind after conceding 2-0 and won 4-2. That is the only worth remembering game in football so far. However, in non-football events, there have been plenty of them. The most unforgettable one was of course the London 2012 Olympic Games, from opening and closing ceremony to the athletic finals, plus the Paralympic Games afterwards. Furthermore, some other sporting events which have been held in this stadium are 2015 Rugby World Cup, 2017 World Athletic and Para athletic championships, 2018 Athletic World Cup, 2019 Cricket World Cup, 2018 Major Baseball League London Series plus some other less well-known sport events such as motosport race and rugby league and several concerts.
