Tokyo has another problem with its proposed Olympic Stadium

Building an Olympic Stadium can be difficult and costly under the best of circumstances, but Japan is finding new ways to turn the project into a massive headache.

Organizers of the 2020 Tokyo Games had to scrap their initial plans last summer after an uproar over the $2-billion price tag. Now, it seems, they can’t figure out where to place the Olympic cauldron in the new design.

The interior of the revamped proposal features lots of wood, so the cauldron must be put someplace where it does not violate fire laws.

That location has yet to be determined, adding more uncertainty to a project already behind schedule.

“The basic design will be finalized by May, and we’ll deal with it swiftly,” Olympics minister Toshiaki Endo told the Japan Times.

A reported lack of communication between organizers and the government has exacerbated the problem.
