Singapore's Field of Dreams
This is an engineering story about building the world's ultimate multifunction sports complex. Costing more than a billion US dollars, the ambitious project includes an ingenious indoor aquatics center that can hold up to 6,000 people, a multipurpose arena, a water sports center, and retail facilities. The jewel-in-the-crown is a cutting-edge 55,000-seat national stadium with a unique, opening domed roof. Over the course of two years, we follow the construction team as they face the tightest of deadlines, unexpected obstacles, and high-risk construction procedures. It's all in the story of Singapore's Field of Dreams.
