Talk:National Stadium (Tokyo)

Wrong Stadium?
There seems to be a confusion here ... the photo and the google map link both depict an open-air stadium that is just a little north-east of the actual Tokyo Olympic Stadium. The actual stadium's most notable feature is the suspension roof, apparently the largest of that kind at the time. Here are some photos of the roofed stadium. Here is another page with more photos. Here is a google maps link to the roofed stadium. And here is a google maps link zoomed out to show the sites of both stadiums that we seem to be confusing. (Even more confusing is the fact that both sites feature a smaller arena near the main stadium, in pretty much the same arrangement.) -John Fitzgibbons 204.15.3.5 00:17, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Don't confuse the outdoor olympic stadium (correctly pictured in the article) with Yoyogi National Gymnasium. More details are at 1964 Summer Olympics.  Regards. Neier 04:06, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah, thanks for clearing up my confusion. My original source was a book, Annotated Architecture by Neil Stevenson, ISBN 0-7894-1965-3, which contains a two-page spread on the Yoyogi Gymnasium, but refers to it as "Tokyo Olympic Stadium." -John Fitzgibbons 69.181.182.38 09:37, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

New article for the new stadium
It's better make a new article for the new 2019 stadium, just like the Japanese wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.163.174.162 (talk) 04:03, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I think so, Seperate articles like Wembley StadiumFootwiks (talk) 06:26, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

Requested move 18 December 2016

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the move request was: moved to National Stadium (Tokyo). The nomination indicated that National Stadium is the official English name, and it appears that this is the name in common usage. Its location is provided as a geographic disambiguator.

National Olympic Stadium (Tokyo) → Tokyo National Stadium – Tokyo National Stadium is more common name. Also English official name (National Stadium) and Japanese full name (National Kasumigaoka Athletic Stadium) don't include word "Olympic" Besides, National Olympic Stadium (Tokyo) is cumbersome.Footwiks (talk) 06:33, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Good,We should also create separate articles for the new and old stadiuam like the japanese wiki.
 * Nname suggestions: National Stadium Japan & New National Stadium Japandabean (talk) 15:34, 18 December 2016 (UTC)


 * The official English name seems to be "National Stadium" and this name is also used in the Japan Times  so I would propose the title National Stadium (Tokyo). Cursory Google searching suggests that "National Stadium" is used more often than "Tokyo National Stadium" (note that many Google hits for "Tokyo National Stadium" link to passages mentioning "Tokyo's National Stadium").

Missing: Corruption, Incompetence, and Falling Concrete
The article needs to be completely rewritten. It is missing all the most significant things about the original Shinjuku stadium. The retractable roof never worked. The place went hugely over budget. Huge chunks of concrete started falling off the outside of it after a very few years. These are the main reasons it is being torn down, rather than being handy for re-use at the 2020 Olympics. I forget the details: that's what I came to Wikipedia looking for. They weren't here. David Lloyd-Jones (talk) 07:41, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
