Media were shown inside the $1.25 billion stadium on Wednesday, 387 days before the opening ceremony will be held at the same venue. “The work for this stadium has been going on for three years and we have five months to go,” said National Stadium Development Director Takeo Takahashi. “About 90% of the construction work has been completed and, as you can see, almost all the buildings have been completed. We are now working on the interior and facility equipment inside the stadium. The grass and track have yet to be laid but this is expected to be completed in the next month.”The Olympic Stadium is one of eight new venues to be used at Tokyo 2020, all of which are on schedule for completion.
