Notes

Architect Jan Wils (1891-1972) was in charge of the stadium’s architecture and also the design of the graphic design of the various documents for the 1928 Games in Amsterdam. The colour orange was used predominantly and the number of special entry passes was a reminder of the organisers’ efforts to improve traffic flow.
