David Oliver's 13.23 ended the 75 year old track and field history of the stadium, the track will be removed in May 2009. During the little closing ceremony the mayor was booed loudly and a chorus of whistles began. It's sad to see another big stadium disappear, actually be transformed into a football (soccer) only one.
That leaves Berlin and Nürnberg (and the semi-retired Olympic stadium in Munich) as the two big stadiums in Germany, who knows when those are going to disappear too. Hopefully they will regret the decision one day, not just because of Stuttgart. You can't put all the emphasis on one sport, it's not going to work for forever.
