The Biggest Stadium In The World: Rungrado May Day Stadium
The Rungnado May First Stadium, or May Day Stadium, is a monumental stadium in Pyongyang, North Korea completed on May 1, 1989. Rungrado May Day Stadium has 150 000 seats and a total floor space of more than 207 000 square meters. The area of the pitches is over 22 500 square meters. The stadium has eight stores and is more than 60 meters high from the ground to the roof. The 60 meter long canopy is enough to cover the section of the stands. The pent of the inner roof is 60 meters long and the outer roof 40m long. The 16 arch roofs link with one another like flower petals.
The roofs look like a large flower floating on the clear water of the Taedong, or a parachute which has just landed, so it gives the impression of a dynamic sculpture. The stadium has 80 exits and ten lifts. It was built in two and a half years on the picturesque Rungra Island in the Taedong River, and commissioned on May 1, 1989. Every condition is provided for international games. The football pitch is covered with natural grass, and the 400 meter track and other parts for field events are rubberized.
