Size of the seats

Boomdocker

Hi,

Does anyone know the size of the seats? I can't see anything online to see how wide the seats are in the Olympic Stadium, Greenwick Park or the Aquatic Centre.

If anyone has any idea I would be grateful.

thanks.

I went to test events in velodrome and aquatics centre and am a very large woman, seats were comfortable although both the aquatics and velodrome were very hot - aquatics uncomfortably so, so make sure you wear layers

Do u have any info on what size bag will fit under the seats and get us thru security ok? it's says small bag! We are all staying overnight at a hotel - 1 night - so will have a rucksack with the bare min for an overnight stay but need to take it with us to the stadium as we're not going back that way we r going up to Euston. I think the ordinary rucksack should fit under a seat. Its not one of those backpacking massive ones with the sleeping bag and roll mat lol. . Any thought anyone ? TIA.

I read "somewhere" that a 25 litre backpack is fine. Whatever that is.

I was there yesterday - seats are normal stadium seating, space under plenty of room for a backpack.

Where I was (basketball) it was freezing, but there was only about 1000 of us & I guess it'll warm up when it's full. The outside seated areas are of course weather dependant!

Also do get there at least 2 hours in advance - Security can take an age & there could be a long way to walk! If you can enter at any Gate other than Stratford I'd do so.

There are lockers at Euston, why not just leave your bag there?

We are not at Euston we are near Excel. We have to get back to Euston to catch our train home later that night. I wanted afternoon tickets so I could travel on the day. Like others not one member of my family got any tickets in the first ballot. Finally got tickets for our event in 3rd or 4th round but can only get morning sessions but can't get a train in the morning as they don't run early enough. We live hundreds of miles from London and Excel. We have to come the night before. So its not possible to travel back to euston on the tube after our overnight stay but before the start of our session as we need to be at excel for 8a.m. So we have to take minimum overnight stuff and carry it around with us all day. This will apply to lots of other tourists I would imagine.
