The general public finally found out what the London 2012 stadium will look like when plans were unveiled on Wednesday
Work has already begun on the Olympic Park site in Stratford
London 2012 boss Sebastian Coe said work on the stadium would begin in April 2008, three months ahead of schedule
The biggest difference to previous Olympic stadia concerns the seating - 55,000 seats will be 'demountable' or temporary
The main feature of the stadium design is the sunken bowl, which is designed to bring spectators close to the action
London 2012 officials are looking for a tenant to occupy the stadium once the Olympics and Paralympics are over
But a tie-up with a major football team such as West Ham has already been ruled out by London mayor Ken Livingstone
