message: I also made an attempt to clean up this article, but it still needs work, especially towards the end. Simon, 5 January 2006
This is obviously translated from German.  It's a lengthy article, with many interesting facts and tidbits, however, the grammar needs to be re-worked for flow, as it is very laborious for English readers to get through. --Sirimiri 17:44, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

message: I've converted remaining meters to metres, the article should be consistent and more were already res.  It is a European site anyway. . . John (Jwy) 02:48, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Can this be  true?
  . After the war, the United Kingdom military occupation used it as its headquarters until 1994.
1994??? Maybe 1954?  75.80.24.43 21:49, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No, 1994 makes sense. West Berlin was occupied by the UK, US and France until 1994. - 52 Pickup 14:29, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't there be some mention of the history of this stadium, being that Leni Riefenstahl made her movie "Olympia" her (be it in the old stadium)? Greetngs, RagingR2 11:45, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

message: It would be informative to mention the related Olympiastadion S-bahn station. Is it now back in use? When I visited and took photos in 1993, it had obviously been abandoned for many years—since the 1961 Berlin Wall or the 1945 end of WWII?  JGHowes   talk 14:21, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

:: The British forces settled in the northern buildings of the March siblings (back in the 1920s),

Could "built in the 1920" have been intended? Michael Hardy (talk) 15:27, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  back in the 1920s? 

message: This weird paragraph appears here:
: 
:: The Waldbühne was built by using the glacial river banks of the Berlin glacial valley.  It is a reproduction of the old theater of Epidaurus (3rd century BC). The theater was then named "Dietrich-Eckart-Bühne" in homage to Dietrich Eckart.
: 
"Then" in this context would normally mean "at that time".  What time is referred to???  The 3rd century BC??  Certainly that is false.  The time when the theatre was built?  But it doesn't say when that was! Michael Hardy (talk) 20:07, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

message: On page 80 of the 1970 edition of Inside the Third Reich, Albert Speer writes that:
The German Olympic Committee was thrown into a quandary when [so-and-so] showed Hitler the first plans for the rebuilding of the Olympic Stadium. Otto March...had designed a concrete structure with glass partition walls...Hitler went to inspect the site and came back in a state of anger and agitation...he would never set foot inside a modern glass box like that.
Speer continues: 
Overnight I made a sketch showing how the steel skeleton already built could be clad in natural stone and have more massive cornices added. The glass partitions were eliminated, and Hitler was content...Professor March agreed to the changes, and the Olympic Games were held in Berlin after all...
I didn't see any mention of Speer's contribution to the Berlin Olympic Stadium in the article - have I missed something? I'm not a specialist on buildings, just interested in Speer, re-reading his memoirs and thought he claimed a role for himself in the redesign that was implemented. Has it not been added to the article for a particular reason? Thanks. Azx2 17:53, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

message: I removed several links from the tenant list as all of them are temporary events that the stadium hosted. Even the stadium's namesake wasn't a tenant, similar to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. A tenant is typically a team or organization that is based at a facility and uses it as their home venue. The Olympic games are held at several venues, as are large tournaments like the World Cup. But the Olympics and the World Cup are not headquartered at that stadium; the organizations that run them are simply there in town for a fixed amount of time on a clearly temporary basis, similar to conference championship games and tournaments and the Super Bowl. --JonRidinger (talk) 20:16, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
