This is a special update on the Olympic sports venues that are already built (With the exception of the lake, mountain, and the Hudson Sailing Center).

I am proud to announce Manchester has reached the 100,000 mark!!! Also there is a new record for getting from 30,000 to 100,000 in just two days (0 to 30,000 took a little longer (say a week or so) due to low demand)!!!

Unfortunately, due to limited space and time I have dropped the idea of a custom stadium. Here's the Manchester Stadium now:



As you can see at least the El-rail Station made it in. Serves Rapid Transit, Buses, and BRT. There are two RT stations on the lot. One for 952 (uses modern station) (Opened early because of heavy traffic on roads) that only runs to Hemlock (the 3rd) station. The Olympic Extension will (if voted) extend it to the future site of the Olympic Village. The other is 925 (Uses older station behind newer one). Wait a second, my mistake. That's vice versa!

And now for the newer Stanley Sports Complex:



Here's the Midtown Coliseum, serving us since the 1970s:



Here's the Olympic Swimming Center, which lies near Midtown Coliseum:



Also near the Midtown Coliseum is the Yankees Stadium:



This pic was taken just before we reached 100k.

Here's the Barringtoin Center, it was built for the '84 Olympics, and sees the possibility that it might be full of people again:



The Stanley Veledrome:


And the Hudson Sailing Center:


Site for Shooting and Archery:


A few pictures from Central Park, the site of many events:




Just keep in mind that this is not all the venues (The Olympic Village and the Olympic Aquatics Center are missing).

I am looking into making a volleyball court (There are only 2 (Just Two???) on the STEX, and none of them are good for the Simlympics).
