Probe ordered into rising costs of Olympic Stadium
Print Edition
THE mayor of London has ordered an investigation into the rising costs of converting the Olympic Stadium into the home venue for Premier League club West Ham United.
The centerpiece of the 2012 London Games has been transformed into a 60,000-seat multi-purpose venue at a cost of 323 million pounds (now US$400 million), about 50 million pounds more than initially estimated. British taxpayers are set to foot the spiraling bill. London Mayor Sadiq Khan’s office said “a detailed investigation into the full range of financial issues surrounding the stadium” has been ordered. West Ham has a 99-year lease on the venue, now called London Stadium, and pays an annual rent of 2.5 million pounds that covers nearly all its costs. The club also contributed 15 million pounds toward the conversion costs, with taxpayers paying the rest.
