Boasting a powerful symbol with a portrayal of the Eiffel Tower at the very heart of the logo, a track &quot;running&quot; on the monument, understated, chic colours and typography for the premium aspect, it raises the bar for the event to that of an unmissable, high-quality showstopper.<\/span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; \"><b><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; color:#003366\">A remarkable date\u2026<\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; \"><span style=\"font-size:9.0pt; font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\" lang=\"EN-GB\">2016 will be a sporty year and this summer\u2019s schedule should particularly appeal to athletics\u2019 fans. The usual slot for the meeting tends to favour the start of the summer, but this year the Euro 2016 will fill the Stade de France through until mid-July. As a result, the organisers have opted for a slot post Olympic Games: on Saturday 27 August. <\/span><span style=\"font-size:9.0pt; font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\">Athletics is the primary Olympic discipline and generally amasses the largest television audiences in the world. In France, the Olympic final of the 100M can expect nearly 10-million viewers and an average in excess of 4-million spectators for the week at the Olympic stadium. For the meeting, organisers are promising the public the opportunity to see these inspiring athletes in action again a few days later in the Stade de France.<\/span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; \"><b><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; color:#003366\">The low-down on the MEETING de PARIS&#8230;<\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Label : IAAF Diamond League Date : Saturday 27 August 2016 Edition : 17th edition &#8211; 1st in 1999 Venu : STADE DE FRANCE Baseline : \u00ab The best of Athletics \u00bb 200 athletes \u2013 including athletes from the French team 50 000 spectators (peak crowd of 70,253 spectators en 2005) Cost of seats : from \u20ac22 to \u20ac75 Ticket Office : Opening on 26\/02\/2016 at <link http:\/\/www.stadefrance.com\/>www.stadefrance.com<\/link> and across the usual networks and retail outlets (FNAC \u2013 Carrefour \u2013 Auchan \u2013 E.
