Between the Winter Games and the Summer Games, we get two amazing weeks of competition every two years in different host cities all around the globe. When a city is awarded an Olympics, the work starts, basically building a city within a city including a giant stadium as well as other venues and infrastructure. While this can be a huge economic boom for the host city, creating jobs, bring in tourists, etc.
But then what? What happens to all of these buildings, roads, and stadiums? BeautifulHouse.com notes that some are re-purposed for Universities, other sports teams, private use, and more. But some, like in Rio, Sochi, and more have apparently sat abandoned.
Check out these super eerie photos of once sterling venues that have been totally abandoned.
