American artist Paul Pfeiffer has constructed the world's first one million-seater stadium, at least a concept of such.Â
The work of art called âVitruvian Figureâ is a 10-foot model of a stadium that's nearly impossible to imagine in the real world. It takes inspiration from Sydney's 110,000-capacity Olympic Stadium, which hosted the opening of the 2000 Olympics. The piece is displayed at the Inhotim Centre for Contemporary Art in Brumadinho. Â
Currently, the world's largest football venue is Rungrado First Of May Stadium in Pyongyang, North Korea, which holds 114,000 â 150,000 people.Â
The largest football stadium in Europe, FC Barcelona's Camp Nou, proposes a redesign to include 110,000 people. The Spanish stadium holds nearly 100,000 fans today. Â
Imagining a 1 million capacity stadiumÂ
Imagine watching Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi from the stands in Pfeiffer's futuristic installation â binoculars, anybody?Â
Logistically speaking, a stadium of such magnitude would be a nightmare. The parking lot itself would have to stretch miles â not to mention lines at the bathroom and concession stands. Â
At best, it's a stadium for ants. A fascinating experiment, nonetheless.
