AEG reveals Olympic Stadium interest
O2 Arena operator AEG has revealed that it is interested in taking over the running of London's Olympic Stadium following the 2012 Games.
The group is believed to be among a number of potential bidders that have expressed an interest in assuming control of the venue with the Olympic Park Legacy Company (OPLC). Although the process is at an early stage, an AEG spokesperson said: "Creating an ongoing success in East London will not be easy and is not to be underestimated.
"However, we have turned the much unloved Millennium Dome into the world's most successful venue in the form of The O2 and think, with reason, we understand East London better than most." Other potential bidders are believed to include West Ham United Football Club as part of a joint venture with Newham Council, while Essex County Cricket Club have also reportedly expressed an interest.
