The structure of the stadium is outstanding, the architecture is great. However, let me express my constructive critic: I was disappointed to see the seats have no rest arms. Also the rest rooms (WC) are not properly designed. You have to pull the door to get in, and either entrance and exit using the same door. Maybe the most beautiful stadium in the world, but it has lack of comfort when compare with a stadium in USA. I had been in the National Stadium (Bird nest) in Beijing last year.

The award should have been given to a structure that was able to retain the function that it was designed for. Granted it still could hold events, but no one can afford to pay for it... leaving only a shell of intent. Empty nest... This should not have been the winner. Exactly neuhaus.

I think the 'Bird's Nest' is spectacular but there are 3 or 4 projects there I'd be happy to see recieve a prize. re: the Sean O'Casey Community Centre by O'Donell Tuomey being listed for this prize - so Dublin is "outside the European Union" now, eh? Is this punishment for us voting the wrong way on Lisbon or something?! Some impressive projects there..
