Did you know that the National Stadium is so large, it can fit not one, but four Airbus A380s — the world’s largest passenger airliner — lined up from wing to wing? Or that at its highest point, it is 81.5m tall and towers over Singapore’s iconic Changi Airport Control Tower?
A stone’s throw away at Kallang Basin, the Water Sports Centre is equally impressive, boasting the largest launch pontoon in the country at 81m in width. Also, its six boat racing lanes can be expanded to nine for bigger competitions.
As the Singapore Sports Hub turns five this month, let’s find out just how well you know Singapore’s favourite sporting hub. Here are more numbers that make the hub what it is today.

20,000 — The number of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) embedded in the retractable roof of the National Stadium. These LEDs are capable of working together to form a giant screen projecting visuals from both inside and outside the stadium. That’s not all — the retractable roof can also be opened or closed whenever the weather calls for it.
Did you know? This centrepiece of the Singapore Sports Hub lays claim to the world’s largest free-spanning dome, and is the only stadium in the world that can be configured to fit four different sporting modes: cricket, football, rugby and athletics. Since its opening, the National Stadium has hosted a multitude of large-scale events, including non-sporting ones such as concerts and festivals.
12,000 seats for massive entertainment

12,000 — The number of spectators the Singapore Indoor Stadium can seat. Built with a flexible configuration in mind, the entertainment facility can be scaled to fit from 4,000 to 12,000 spectators, depending on stage used during the event. The configurations include a 6,000-seat capacity during a North Hall Stage performance, a 9,000-seat capacity during an East Stage performance and a 12,000-seat capacity during a Centre Stage performance.
Did you know? Designed by internationally acclaimed architect Kenzo Tange, the Singapore Indoor Stadium is also pillarless, allowing for an unobstructed view no matter where you are seated. Rousing concerts by the likes of Britney Spears and Andy Lau, as well as boisterous events such as ONE Championship and UFC Fight Night, have utilised the versatile venue to its full potential.

The red walkway, also known as the prosperity track, encircles the National Stadium and doubles as a running track, perfect for active individuals on rainy days. The red track is flanked by a blue and a green track on either side, forming the blue-red-green stripes in the 100PLUS logo most of us are familiar with.
Did you know? The eye-catching 100PLUS Promenade acts as a central connector to all major facilities on the Singapore Sports Hub Campus. If you ever lose your way on the vast campus, keep a lookout for the walkway — it may just be able to lead you back on track.
