Here are the remaining Summer Olympic stadiums we do not yet have entries for, or do not have them marked as Olympic sites if we have them under non-olympic names:

Seoul, S. Korea. 1988
Moscow 1980
Tokyo, Japan 1964
Melbourne, Austrailia 1956
Helsinki, Finland 1952
London, England 1948
Berlin, Germany 1936

Not sure how much further back than that it's worth going.

Wiki entry about Olympic Stadiums in general:

(Edited to delete Montreal from the list. We already have that one.)

Good catch. I was flipping back and forth between the Wiki page and the Site list here, and totally missed that one. One less to find.

With one exception, we now have all I listed.

The exception is Berlin. The one you submitted was quickly tagged as a duplicate of the Munich stadium. Both by the automated duplicate finder code, and by several comments posts, saying it was indeed Munich, not Berlin. So either it was a duplicate, or the one already submitted for Munich is actually Berlin. Either was, we're still missing a stadium.

Thanks for all the assistance, though.
