The Future of The Stadium
In the last decade several studies have looked at adaptive reuse and preservation of this unique structure. There are plans to convert the mammoth Strahov stadium complex into a commercial zone complete with hotels, restaurants and shops. Another suggestion is to convert the area into a "leisure mecca for the 21st century". There are also plans to rebuild the area as an Olympic village if Prague wins a future Olympic bid; bidding for 2016 was unsuccessful.
The stadium was used for the 2010 World Ultimate Club Championships.

“In their eyes I have seen
the pin men of madness in marathon trim
race round the track of the stadium pupil.”
