All change at the London Stadium

By Sean Whetstone

The London Stadium has moved into multi-event mode ahead of a series of summer events without athletics.

The first event was staged on Sunday with the National League final between Solihull Moors and Grimsby Town but Soccer Aid will be played this Sunday when Mark Noble will return to his home one last time.

The north and south stands have been pushed back and covered over and parts of the West and East stands have been removed. Some West Ham branding has been removed or covered up including the dugout and bench seats.

The pitch will then be covered for Monster Jam with big trucks on 18th June followed by music concerts.

The first will be Green Day on 24th June followed by Red Hot Chili Peppers on 25th and 26th June.

With no athletics planned this summer, the stadium will be transformed back to football mode at the end of June.

This will include the replacement of the new £14.5m West Stand lower which will be squarer, cheaper to move and incorporate new 1966 £1,500 season tickets with a new design.
