London’s 537 million pound ($853 million) Olympic stadium may be torn down just after the 2012 Summer Games as part of plans being submitted today by one of two bidders hoping to take possession of the site.

Premier League soccer teams Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham both want anchor tenant status at the east London venue. A decision will be made in March on plans for the 80,000-seat facility, which will host the opening ceremony and track events.
