Lonely Planet review for Olympic Stadium
Even though it was put through a total modernisation for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, it’s hard not to remember the Nazi legacy when visiting the Olympic Stadium. The bombastic bulk of the Colosseum-like structure undoubtedly remains, although it’s now softened by the addition of a spidery oval roof. These days, the more than 74,000 seats are often filled with fans cheering on the local Hertha BSC football (soccer) team, the Pope or Madonna. Call ahead to make sure the stadium is open for touring. Multilingual audioguides are available for an additional €2.50.

A must when in Berlin
streeterpingfellow recommends this,
This place is a must visit when it Berlin. The place is full of History and the stadium amazing even to this day. The revamp of the stadium prior to the 2006 takes nothing away from the grandeur of the place.
