Olympiastadion

Sunday, 9th July 2006 by Alex

Opened in 1936, renovated in 2004, 68 metres high, with 113 VIP stands, 2 underground garages and 76,000 seats, this is the fantastic looking Olympiastadion in Berlin.

None of it matters tonight of course - not if you’re a French or Italian football fan - as this is where the 2006 World Cup final is being played in just under half an hour.

Really cool stadium though!

Thanks to Giampaolo Bellavite and Bene.
