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?
