You don’t hear about Central Florida very often, and when you do, chances are it has something to do with Walt Disney World. But just over an hour north of the famed resort complex is the mid-sized city of Ocala, a destination bursting with superlatives, including “America’s largest spring” and “horse capital of the world.”
THEN AND NOW: What 10 former Olympic stadiums look like today
01.08.2024 - 19:48 / insider.com / Paris Olympics
The 2024 Olympic opening ceremony was different compared to years past. At the Paris Olympics, viewers watched as athletes sailed down the Seine in a fleet of boats, while the streets were filled with performers.
Normally, though, the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympics are held in a huge stadium. Many, in fact, are built specifically for this purpose.
But what happens to them after the games? Some are renovated and turned into sporting arenas. Others are left somewhat abandoned, as the city doesn't have the need for the thousands of seats. Or they're destroyed entirely — in Lake Placid, New York, the stadium used for the opening ceremony was demolished soon after the 1980 Games.
Here's what Olympic stadiums looked like at their peak, and how they've changed since the torch was extinguished.
