So its Olympic Coordination Authority chose a design that would allow it to be converted to a stadium with a retractable roof that covers all the seating area. Breezes still will flow through the covered stadium because above the remaining low tiers of end seats, there will be no side walls. In Sydney as in Chicago, residential construction is elbowing out industry wherever possible. A shuttle bus meets the boats and takes you to the Olympic information center. If you're taking the bus tour, buy your ticket right away even if you don't want to start riding at once.
Every little bit helps.
All Olympic tickets in the United States are being sold through Cartan Tours. Whether you see the Games or visit before or after the Olympics, a tour of the main venues provides an overview of much of this sprawling metropolis of 4 million inhabitants. Speaking of overviews, one of the most stunning views of Stadium Australia is from high ground in the north suburbs across the river. If you take any tours in that direction, particularly to the Blue Mountains or Hunter River Valley, spend the first few minutes of the outward journey looking back to the left and you'll get several glimpses of the stadium's soaring roofline. The heart of the Games will be at Sydney Olympic Park in Homebush Bay.
