Perhaps a little known fact: Amsterdam is a candidate for the 2028 Olympics as well as the World Championships of 2014. Seem far away? Remember when Beijing 2008 sounded futuristic?

In order to get and keep the city in the running for both games, one interesting plan calls for the improvement of the modest Olympic Stadium in Amsterdam south. Unlike alot of over-the-top plans for stadiums that cities often come up with when it comes to the olympics, the proposal for this stadium seeks to add simple and non-intrusive extensions of seating complete with some protection from the elements. Here's a draft image:

Of course that's not the only piece of the puzzle. Lot's of other infrastructure and assorted projects will be undertaken as part of the olympic bid. This one just happens to be my favorite for its simplicity; keeping in tact that very fascinating 1920's feel to the old stadium.
