Helsinki Olympic Stadium

Helsingin olympiastadion

Helsinki Olympic Stadium is Finland's largest stadium, built in the 1930s and serving as the main venue for the 1952 Summer Olympics. The site comprises an oval athletics bowl with an inner running track and pitch, extensive spectator stands, and a tall, slender stadium tower that serves as a local landmark.

As it stood in 1952

What Helsinki Olympic Stadium looked like in its prime.

An open elliptical concrete bowl surrounding a red athletics track and a rectangular green grass pitch; tiers of spectator seating rise on all sides with a temporarily extended upper tier on the north, east and south stands during the Olympic peak. A slim, 72.7 m white tower rises beside the bowl with vertical apertures and observation levels. Flagpoles line the rim; the exterior is largely pale reinforced concrete set amid sports fields and low terraces.
