Singapore National Stadium

At the Singapore stadium for its opening and first sports event the world rugby 10's.

Thought I would post some pics as it's an interesting stadium. 55,000, retractable roof, concourses inside the stadium so easy to get food, drink and toilets. It also has fantastic views all round.
You can walk all the way round inside. I am sure there must be barriers but didn't see any.
They have Juve here in August so I expect a full house, it will be interesting to see how it copes with a large crowd.

Is that just the old one tarted up?

Stadium looks fantastic. The pitch could do with some tlc though.

I think the pitch maybe a temporary one, they played 2 days of 10's rugby with 8 teams so it would have taken a pounding.
I think when the Juve game comes round in August it will be a proper pitch

Whats with the random red and white seats?

Not sure what that was about,
Couldn't make out a pattern, assume it's just random national colours

Some of the white ones used to be red. They were donated by Charlton Athletic FC of England.
