Title: McCormick Hall
Post by: djorling on September 26, 2019, 05:45:54 PM
Any recent pics of the status of the tear down?  Just curious to see how it is going.  (Saw drone video from one of the tv channels from several months ago).  Any recent photos or links appreciated.

Sorry to bring it up but this earlier picture looks like the Oklahoma City bombing. Gave me shivers.

Outside USA.  LA, Atlanta, SLC the venues look good and many used to this day.  If not, they are torn down and the land re used.

Chicago had a great idea when they were going to build a temporary stadium for the opening ceremonies and track and field events. I guess it wasn't enough of a grift for the IOC though. Same for FIFA and the World Cup.

I think Boston was planning the same, a lot of temporary stadiums that could be taken down after the Olympics.

They do it with swimming pools all the time for international events.

You can set up a world-class pool (in terms of speed) in a parking lot and take it down when the event is over.
