Japan Goes With "Hamburger" Design For Tokyo Olympics

Japan's Prime Minister's Cabinet Goes With "Hamburger" Design for Tokyo Olympics


 The Tokyo Olympics in 2020 will be held in the yet-to-be-built "Hamburger" Stadium. The Japanese Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, put his cabinet in charge of selecting the design that is to be used for the 2020 summer games. I agree with the cabinet's choice of stadium design... you should see what design the kitchen sink selected; it was terrible.

"Hamburger" Stadium is designed to hold 80,000 spectators and consists of three tiers. The stadium is expected to be finished in November of 2019 and will cost Japan at least $1.2 billion, which is the expected budget. Of course, projects like this never stay within the budgeted amount. Governments just don't know how to use money correctly. I'm expecting the stadium to cost $2.2 billion.
