At night, the retractable roof doubles as a giant projector screen on both sides, which can display images such as the Singapore Flag during the National Day Parade. Some 3,000 LED lights, which line the steel trusses wrapped around the dome, will add to the stadium's glittering night-time profile.
The stadium scores not just on looks, but also on functionality. It is the only stadium in the world custom-built to host football, rugby, cricket and athletics events in one venue. When football games are held, the lower spectator tiers can be moved 12.5m forward to take fans closer to the action.
