AEG seeks to take over entire Olympic Park
US entertainment giant AEG, which owns The O2, is bidding to take over the entire Olympic Park once the London 2012 Games have ended.
Earlier this month, AEG joined a list of more than 100 companies that have submitted bids to run the £537m Olympic Stadium - a list that includes a joint bid from West Ham United and Newham Council.
The West Ham bid had been thought of as the favourite, but AEG - which transformed Labour's white elephant, the Millennium Dome, into one of the world's most successful music venues - is a serious contender.
Now, however, it seems AEG doesn't want to stop at the stadium. AEG Europe's chief executive David Campbell told London's Evening Standard: "Having the park operated in an integrated manner - from the aquatics centre to the smaller venues - is critical.
"The stadium would be the most prominent part but there's still a footfall coming in from the rest of the park."
