Well to be fair its never turned a profit let alone broken even. I kinda value a project on its level of thought and finish. But i getcha

Xi visits and is given a show... "What dictators love"

No, in Czech republic we have bigger remnant communism. Strahovský stadion for 250 000 peoples 👌😂

hey

I lived in Plzen and spent time in Praha often. I've seen this stadium but never been in it. I remember watching (is it Sokolov?) performance there in the 70's. It did remind me of the North Korean assemblies I've seen online. They were actually very good and fit looking. My mama's family came from eastern Slovakia and I loved living in Czechia twenty years ago. Both countries are so beautiful and I'd love to visit again. I still have family in both countries.

The Saltlake Stadium in Kolkata #India once before 2016 had Capacity of 250,000 but after 2017 FIFA under-17 & Under-23 WorldCup it's capacity decreased to 86,000

V Praze je největší

No, it actually fits 15,000 “SEATS” not people.

The staving people aren’t the ones that are allowed in the stadium. It’s the true believers that get special dispensation.

​@mrclassicsnior the problem is finding people who are not starving to fit in them

It would probably only fit 75,000 North Americans with how obese the population has become compared to the rest of the world. There are way too many that can't fit into one airplane seat.

150k North Koreans or 72k Americans. The seating is actually the exact same as the Superdome lol.

When you’ll be executed for making a mistake you have high motivation to be accurate.

Lol I was going to say the same thing but on a 2 year old comment someone beat me by 3 days

@@EnclaveOfficer1776 Ignorate comment. North Korea is bad, but that is not the way to get results even if you are evil. They simply have spent 1000s of hours training, because their government prioritized that pursuit and selected many young people to go down that path. If you practiced something everyday for years you would get pretty good at as well.

Its definetly not a side project but a mega project

I wouldn’t even call the building of it a mega project.

Already have been 20 videos made about it, and i bet maybe half of them are narrated by Simon. The fuck u want?

Be better to do it as a mega project when it is finally demolished.

Side projects: for when mega projects gets too blazed on “business”

Should've named it the "Side Blaze" or "Project Blaze"

Allegedly.

It's the gateway drug into coca- uhhh Business Blaze.

The cold war was about nukes not going off between the US and the Soviet Union. The Korean war had us on the ground fighting. The timing doesn't mean they're the same thing

@@SidewaysN the Korean War was the first conflict that involved proxy states that were controlled/backed by the US and USSR. So it was part of the Cold War...

lol exactly, the first major conflict of the cold war is the war in korea. but ok simon ahaha

@@andrewbumgarner2429 so you’re saying every shooting conflict from between the Korean war up to the fall of the ussr were "battles’"

Had Murica and Stalin not fucked over the poor Koreans who did nothing to them, except for the fact of them being an invaded land occupied by the Japanese who the aforementioned two wanted to split like a cheap pizza, Korea could have been better than simply a puppet of Murica and Stalin.

I wonder what will take longer: Kim Jong-Un hearing about this , or building a new super-stadium?

It’s finished now

Why would they need to? They all fit into this stadium with room to spare!

@ Luke Warren, I’m not sure which shit hole you live in, but Pyongyang has a population over 3.5million... the stadium seats 150K. For an isolated(due to politics) country, they’re doing fine. America with all its freedom would struggle to do this without it falling over and everyone getting sued. The UK is too balls deep in legislation that it could never happen.

@@lewizzrocks its Indiana so I’m guessing there isn’t much else going on.

Yeah but it’s only a racing venue but for the stadium in North Korea it can host a lot more sports in it and if you search up what is the biggest stadium in the world it comes up as the North Korean one

Take me in. I’m sick of the western ways. I’ll happily take a government provided flat with an international advisory role. I’ll jump on a flight next week. Please, glorious leader, pick me!

I love North Korea. First. I like to starve myself. Second. I like to Imprison myself. Yep.

I believe its something like. "which video have we got ready and which channel do we need a video for..."

One of them was technically innovative, ground breaking, and revolutionary... The other one is a boring building in bad korea.

I think it’s more to with information available and also whether it’s big . But some big things don’t have enough information and history available like this

@@amicloud_yt mega projects is just planes though. Listen, undeniably planes are technological marvels. No doubt. I live hearing all about aviation. But, you can't dismiss architecture. Without revolutions in architecture these planes could have never been built. Plus, the political aspect is, of course, very interesting. It's narrow minded and foolish not to pay attention to the politics of other nations

Greater or lesser than the projects in the UAE and Saudi Arabia?

Its been said that the brand new Krestovsky Stadium in St Petersburg Russia for the World Cup was also built by North Korean slave labor.

Like some NFL stadiums.

Lol. NK has over 20 Million inhabitants. I am pretty sure tickets aren't as expensive as in your country.

@@fjellyo3261 when a Dr earns enough money to buy 1kg of rice a month, then tickets at any price are too expensive

And that's not a joke, they really don't make any money and 90% of the country is malnurished.

Actually if you watch videos of North Korea made by people who can travel there with less restrictions, like Indonesia or Malaysia, you’ll see that it’s not THAT bad. Reminds me more like being stuck in 80s Eastern Europe. I grew up in Hungary in that time, and it was closed, but if you aren’t materialistic it’s Ok. So having time for some stadium events is not an issue. And they want the aesthetics of the stadium grand ness, they will find a way to fill the stadium. For work we outsourced animation to North Korea. We had a full hour long Skype conference call with the studio inside North Korea. I was working in China where relations are normal. North Korea isn’t paradise, but it isn’t that cartoony image people are portraying either. So yes, they most likely can treat themselves to a stadium event once in a while

Totally, the story of that press is so interesting! It's changed the course of history multiple times, and the details of its engineering and construction are super cool

Apparently he's to busy somewhere else. I think he's out the back of the stadium blazin' ? ... Allegedly. But you know... In the normal way. Not in the general way - or the way that makes Generals nervous...

I personally don’t even buy that this place is the biggest stadium in the world. Can they cram 150,000 people inside at a time? Probably. But in terms of real seating capacity, it was clammed for years and years that it was officially 150,000, then they drop that down to only 114,000. Still the biggest in the world but by a more believable margin. If I had to guess I’d say the actual capacity of this place is more like 80,000-90,000

@@Mr.E723 114,000 people crammed into the stadium might be true, but the place cannot meet modern safety standards. The venue only has one entrance road and one exit road. That's a disaster waiting to happen.

Michigan university’s football field holds more than 100,000 as well. At a certain point I would think there’s diminishing returns. You can get a good crowd atmosphere without sitting a half mile away and having 30,000 cars all leave at once

I'm Australian, Did You Know About A Proposed Sydney Stadium From 1963 It Would Hold Over 150,000 or 200,000 People

Newly built Motera Cricket Stadium in India holds over 110000 people, now it's the biggest Cricket stadium in the world beating Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Give the North-Koreans some credit, usually it's one way in, no way out. So it is an improvement, sad thing is the concept of in AND out didn't catch on there.

A stadium is probably defined as one contiguous structure. Indy certainly isn’t that. It’s a series of structures built near each other, some with large spaces in between.

Irony.

it's a rather different type of Magnolia if I understand which one it is, the Oriental Magnolia has a very particular shape and fragrance, rather peculiar to the American Magnolia... it's flowers though, are half the size maybe
