First Yankee Stadium, now this ... In October the honorable old ski jump Holmenkollen will be demolished and give way to a new one, which should be finished March 2010.

The beloved land mark and national symbol must give way to a more modern construction, housing 35 000 spectators and at last - an elevator for the jumpers! The cost is estimated to 920 million NOK (or around 160 million US dollars), but as with most public buildings I am confident the total cost will be at least 30 % higher ...

 

Anyway, it will be really strange not seeing the jump anymore, it is visible from most parts of the city center. Let's hopethe new one makes an equally elegant profile!
