Stadium costs

National Stadium, which was built with taxpayer money for the Olympic Games in Tokyo, which is a loser of money. At least for taxpayers.

“There are simply no many events that require capacity of 60,000 plus,” Matheson wrote in an email for associated press. “There are not many music concerts that can fill the stadium that size. And things like football or ragbyl world cups or paths and field champions are yet rare.”

The national stadium was recorded to lose about a billion yen a year (about $ 7 million), which is late as fiscal 2024. Years. Ever since it was privatized to reduce the costs of the public sector. Private consortium manages stages although the national government still has and takes some accounts.

Matheson stated a study that showed large stadiums in the United States, home to NFL teams, usually hosted less than 10 major fun or sports events outside the NFL games.

“So most of the time you end up spending $ 1 billion in a building that sits blank 350 days a year,” Matheson said.

The National Stadium sits next to the area known as Junga Gaien, a park-like space that includes a famous baseball and Rugby Stadium and well-kept Avenue Avenue coated more than 100 gingko trees.

There are plans approved by the Tokyo Metropolitan government to catch Baseball and Rugby stadiums. They will be renewed in the same area, but in reconfigured space.

This will allow the developer Mitsui Fudosan and others to build three skyscrapers in what is essentially essentially a park, some of the most respected real estate in Tokyo.

Changes in zoning to enable this high development – will not be completed in a decade – it passed through the Tokyo Metropolitan government when it was on the horizon and a new national stadium seen as an emergency priority

Not only that was 2020 Olympic Games very expensive For taxpayers, they also gave an opening for private developers to keep what traditionally any parking space was.

“When someone else submits an account, we are prone to the construction of Rolls-Roices, not toyota corollas,” Matheson said, economist.

“According to $ 1.4 billion, Tokyo’s Olympic stadium costs about the same amount as the entire Olympic Games from Los Angeles in 1984. years, even after inflation accounting.”
