In a presentation to media in central London today, Kearle went to great length to expose the shortcomings of West Ham's plans. In contrast to Tottenham, West Ham plan to keep the Olympic Stadium's running track and reduce capacity to 60,000. The intention is to create a 25,000-seat stadium "with athletics at its core". They propose building a 60,000-seat stadium on the site.Īs part of their plans and in order to fulfil London 2012’s commitment to have a purpose-built athletics stadium in the capital, Tottenham have also offered to underwrite the redevelopment of the Crystal Palace athletics stadium in south London. Tottenham – who have recently had plans to redevelop their existing home at White Hart Lane approved – are bidding in partnership with American sports giant AEG. "We’ve set out to provide a fan experience that is better than anything else in Europe in terms of a fan experience," said David Keirle, chairman of Tottenham’s architects, KSS, and a Tottenham vice president. A decision on a preferred bidder will be made by the Olympic Park Legacy Company by Jan. The North London club are currently vying with Premier League rivals West Ham to take control of the 80,000-seat venue after the 2012 Games.
