West Ham played their final Premier League clash against Luton Town on May 11.

And after the clash, the stadium showcased its extraordinary ability to seamlessly transition between a diverse range of world-class events across different entertainment and sports genres.

A time-lapse video has been shared on the London Stadium’s official Instagram showing the football ground transform into a baseball pitch for the MLB World Tour in June.

The Philadelphia Phillies faced off against the New York Mets for two games.

Transforming into a state-of-the-art Ballpark took just 16 days from the end of the football season.

Shortly after the venue underwent a dramatic transformation to host two dates of the Foo Fighters‘ ‘Everything or Nothing at All’ Tour.

Then adding to the musical diversity, Burna Boy returned for his ‘I Told Them’ tour a week later.

And for the third consecutive year, Monster Jam returned to the London Stadium to thrill the audience with its massive trucks.

Athletics fans were able to see the London Athletics Meet 2024, just ahead of the Paris 2024 Olympics.

Drawing in elite athletes from around the globe, this event enjoyed a capacity increase of 60,000 to see their favourite stars.

As the summer events have ended the stadium is now to host West Ham for their upcoming Premier League season.

The time-lapse showed the swift transition back to football mode as Julian Lopetegui’s side host Spanish side Celta Vigo in a pre-season friendly today at 3pm.
