that's when the problems began to crop up.

...None of the existing LEGO elements could do the job. We tried with
transparent bricks - but the stadium model would have ended up looking like a
glorified greenhouse. ...we received special permission to develop a brand new
element: a milky-white brick. Only 160,000 elements will be produced, and these
will be used to build the roof of the model. In addition, we had to find special
lamps which will create the right lighting affect as accurately as possible.


We'll all look forward to some night-time photos of the model!

Now, if only I could get a milky-white 2 x 4 brick (or two 2 x 2 bricks) for my
collection of LEGO brick colors.....

Finally I came across some night-time photos of the model!  The size of this
thing really blows me away...
