This page should probably be renamed "Olympic Sports Complex," as that is the official name of the track. [1] - RPIRED (talk) 03:11, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Renaming

The Lake Placid track is just one part of the Lake Placid Olympic Sports Complex. You also have to include the ski jumps, hockey arena, and cross country/ biathlon course. There are other venues that have hosted previous Winter Olympics that are part of combined Olympic park, most notably Calgary with Canada Olympic Park and Turin with Torino Olympic Park.

  • According to the Olympic Regional Development Authority website, the Olympic Sports Complex is the proper name for "bobsled/luge/sleleton combined track and the 1980 Bobsled tracks." The hockey arena is Herb Brooks Arena, the ski jumps are known as the "Olympic Jumping Complex," the biathalon trail "Olympic Biathlon Range," and cross-country trails are the "Olympic Cross-Country Complex." If there is an ambiguous conflict with other places named the same, just call it "Olympic Sports Complex (Lake Placid)," but that is the proper name of the track. - RPIRED (talk) 20:02, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
    • I looked at the same page ([2]) and it states that the Olympic Sports Complex (which is a dab page) combines the bobsleigh/ luge/ skeleton combined track and 1980 Bobsled track along with trails used for biathlon, cross country skiing, snowboarding, and mountain biking. This is why I think the article's name need to stay where it is. If you click on the link in parentheses and read the link, it will show you this. Chris (talk) 16:09, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
