Floating Stadium of Singapore

The Float at Marina Bay, also known as Marina Bay Floating Platform, is the

world's largest floating stage. It is located on the waters of the Marina Reservoir,

in Marina Bay, Singapore.

Made entirely of steel, the floating platform on Marina Bay measures 120 metres

long and 83 metres wide, which is 5% larger than the soccer field at the National

Stadium. The platform can bear up to 1,070 tonnes, equivalent to the total

weight of 9,000 people, 200 tonnes of stage props and three 30-tonne military

vehicles. The gallery at the stadium has a seating capacity of 30,000 people.

But do they have boats cruising around during the games to catch all those balls

that were kicked outside the field?
