‘We’re open for business’: Crystal Palace could stage big-time athletics in 2028
- Cash investment has raised hopes stadium could be used again
- Redevelopment plans would start in 2025, says project director
Crystal Palace could stage big-time international athletics again as soon as 2028, the project director responsible for redeveloping the National Sports Centre has forecast.
The facility has largely fallen into decay since the days when Sebastian Coe and Usain Bolt would light up the track. However, an initial investment of several million pounds into the site from the London mayor, Sadiq Khan, is raising hopes that the famous stadium could be also brought back to life with the right investment.
