In discussing the feasibility of a possible bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics, a Boston committee focusing on infrastructure and transportation has suggested modular construction for housing the 16,000 athletes as well as for the 80,000 seat Olympic Stadium, an aquatics center and a velodrome for indoor cycling. As masslive.com informs MHProNews, the Olympic stadium could be reduced to 40,000 seats, and the modular housing could become graduate student or workforce housing. Additional challenges include 1 million square feet of space for broadcast and press centers, providing transportation for 500,000 extra people a day for several weeks as well as for the athletes to travel between the Olympic Village and the venues and practice fields.
