According to the most recent proposal, Beijing Olympic Games needs 35 stadiums in total, of which 30 are in Beijing, with 15 newly built and the remainder either expansions on existing structures or temporarily built.

The stadiums will be located in four main areas:
1) Olympic Green (Olympic central area): 12 stadiums including the National Stadium and the National Swimming Center will be located in this area
2) University Zone (Peking University, China Agricultural University, University of Science and Technology Beijing and Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics): 4 stadiums for table tennis, badminton, wrestling and judo will be situated in the universities respectively
3) Western Community: 6 stadiums including the basketball stadium will be allocated around Wukesong Cultural and Sports Center
4) Northern Tourism Area: stadiums for aquatic and equestrian sports will be located in this area.

In addition to the permanent stadiums, 4 temporary stadiums for shooting and arrow shooting will be constructed.

Facilities directly related to the Games, including the Athlete Village, Media Village, Main Press Center, and International Broadcasting Center will be constructed in the Olympic Green.

2. Marketing Development

Beijing is anticipating a revenue of US$ 1.625 billion and an expenditure of US$ 1.609 billion as the host of the Games. The majority of expenditure will be spent on the operation of the Games itself and a small proportion part of the construction of the temporary facilities and stadiums.

There are five channels through which revenue will be attained:
1) International Olympic Committee’s US$ 840 million TV broadcasting rights income to BOCOG - about half of the budgeted revenue
2) BOCOG's marketing development revenue, consisting of two parts:
- US$ 200 - 300 million from IOC TOP sponsors. Nine global firms including Coca Cola, Kodak, Samsung, Panasonic, Visa, Swatch, John Hancock and GE have signed sponsorship agreements with the IOC
- Revenue from BOCOG Marketing Programme. The anticipated enthusiasm from businesses in the lead up to the Games may exceed the US$ 200 million budget income that was anticipated during the bidding
3) Income from tickets and souvenirs, 1/10th of total income
4) US$ 100 million subsidies provided by the central and municipal government
5) Local donations and income from assets sold after the Games.

3. Media and Communications

The significant communications tasks of the Olympic Games include:
1) Communications with mainstream international media and the mechanism to respond to and handle media crisis.
2) Organization and coordination of TV broadcasting for the Games
3) Planning and organization of major activities such as the opening ceremony and torch relay
4) Solicitation and selection of the emblem, theme song and organization of related activities
5) Design and layout of the city's look

4. Competition Organization

According to IOC’s regulation, the 2008 Olympics will include 28 sports and 300 events. There will be more than 10,500 athletes in total and thousands of judges and sports officials.

2) Planning and confirming particular schedules for each event and conducting contingency plans for scheduling when confronting changes of conditions e.g. weather changes
