West Ham and their London Stadium landlords are involved in a legal dispute over plans for more seating at the arena, the London Assembly was told on Wednesday.
West Ham, the lead tenants of the former Olympic Stadium on a £2.5million per year, 99-year lease, wish to add 9,000 seats to take the capacity of the arena to 66,000, Gerry Murphy, the acting chief executive of the London Legacy Development Corporation said.
The dispute with the LLDC centres on the operating costs of making the additional seats available, plus the revenue from those seats if they are made available.
