Singapore, despite its very modest size, is very prominent among Asian highly developed countries. The ideal city, which is built only by feng shui and meter by meter, recovers pieces of land from the ocean, has an unprecedented high level of development. Every year on the island futuristic objects are erected (such as, for example, Gardens near the Gulf ), which in many countries are still inconceivable. And it's no wonder that the only floating stadium in the world was built in Singapore.
The island state differs from many even compact countries in that each building and structure is displayed in ideal parameters, taking into account the land relief and maximum space saving. The density of the population is very high, the land is fabulously expensive, and for many decades the Singaporeans have reasonably used specially recycled household waste. This allows you not to accumulate debris on the island and gradually increase the coastal zone. Therefore, the stadium in Singapore is built in such a way that on land only the stands are placed, and the field itself floats on pontoons in the water.
The layout of the stadium
The stadium is built in the cultural center of entertaining and tourist life, on the shore of Marina Bay, and therefore its full official name sounds like the Marina Bay Floating Platform. The grandiose construction additionally attracted many tourists to and so popular the city. The floating stadium in Singapore does not disappear from the ratings of the most interesting places of the earth and unusual objects on the water.
The stadium consists of two separate structures: a floating platform, on which a football field is designed, and one tribune containing about thirty thousand spectators, built on land. The tribune is designed in such a way that the nearest hotels could see what is happening on the field. Many tourists are trying to successfully book hotels to save on the entrance ticket to a concert or sports event.
The stadium itself is arranged in such a way that on it, in addition to sports, it is possible to conduct other mass events. In just a day it is transformed into a specific task. Endurance platform - about 9000 people, but the project, it will withstand twice the declared mass. Every year in Singapore on the roads of the city spend the night racing of Formula 1, and part of the route is laid in front of the rostrum. It shows not only the race, but also the final show.
It was at Singapore's floating stadium in 2010 that the Summer Youth Olympic Games were held. On the platform, concerts, exhibitions, festivals and shows are held all the time. The stadium is included in the list of popular attractions in Singapore , it can be seen from both land and sea.
