Singapore’s ‘Marina Bay Floating Stadium’ is a floating stadium currently carrying the title of ‘the world’s largest’ and, although the 30,000 capacity seating area is housed on land, the ‘pitch’ itself does in fact sit on the water.

It’s sturdy enough to bear the weight of 9,000 people and 3 much-needed military tanks before starting to sink, a fact which itself is surely an excellent deterrent to any would-be pitch invaders.

Whether the floating stadium proves a success or not is largely irrelevant as it will no longer be bouyant post-2012 as it has been given just 5 years to wow audiences at Marina Bay in time for the new National Stadium’s opening.
