After the games
After plenty of debate, it looks like Hertha won’t be building themselves a new home ground. That means the Olympiastadion gets to continue unchanged for a few more years.
Other parts of the olympic infrastructure haven’t been so lucky: parts of the olympic village, for instance, have been gutted by fire; much of the rest is abandoned or decaying. Sad, but it does make for some impressive pictures.
