Headline misses the point a bit. It was always going to be used for ballgames. The point of the article is that it will not also be used for athletics, which not only reduces the number of seats but also moves even the closest supporters well back from the playing surface, which is detrimental to the atmosphere. Anyway, good move!

It's a good move, but it limits the use of the stadium for future athletics events. Japan has a tradition of hosting international athletics meets and there will no longer be a national stadium available if the Olympic stadium is converted to use only for soccer and rugby.
