Rungrado: The 150,000 Seat Giant

The Rungrado 1st of May Stadium in Pyongyang seats 150,000, the largest capacity on Earth, and was built in just 17 months. Its ring of 16 roof arches shelters mass games and gymnastic displays that involve as many as 100,000 performers at once. Half a world away, the Melbourne Cricket Ground, opened in 1853 and holding 100,024, remains the largest cricket venue.
