Why are some of the chairs at the bird's nest different colors?

Question

At the lower section its mostly red with white sprinkled at the top it's mostly white with some red.

They did this at the water cube to, mix blue and white. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Answer 3

To make the stadium look beautiful.  I think.

Answer 4

I don't know if it is aethestics or if it has to do with pricing of tickets.  This article shows the seats and describes that there are more of one color on certain levels but does not say why.http://turcanu.net/blog/2008/08/04/plan-...  

The seats that are strictly VIP are entirely different than these and are located in between second and third floor tribunes are wrapped in soft fabrics....   picture here http://turcanu.net/blog/2008/06/06/beiji...

Answer 5

Answer 6

I think it's just to make the arenas more colorful and pretty.  After all, they were built with the express purpose of being seen on TV.  I think they look really nice!
