A view of the large floating platform in the Marina Bay area in Singapore with some tall buildings in the background and some metal structures in the front. This Float@Marina Bay is the world's largest floating platform, and is also known as the Marina Bay Floating Platform, being located on the Marina reservoir in Marina Bay in Singapore. The platform is larger than a soccer field, and is made of steel. The seating at the gallery on the float has a seating capacity of 30,000 people and can bear a total weight of 1070 tonnes. The platform measures a length of 120 meters and a width of 83 meters. The stadium was created in the year 2007 and has been used for a number of different events such as concerts, exhibitions, arts and cultural performances, and sports events. The stadium was used for the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics. One reason for the location of this platform was because of the incredible skyline of Singapore seen from here. The platform was initially designed to use 200 pontoons, but the design was modified to finally use 15 pontoons.
