The Rungnado May First Stadium, or May Day Stadium, is a monumental stadium in Pyongyang, North Korea completed on May 1, 1989. Its names come from Rungra Island on the Taedong River, upon which it is situated, and May Day, the international day celebrating labor and particularly celebrated among communists. Its scalloped roof features 16 arches arranged in a ring, and it is said to resemble a parachute or a magnolia blossom.
It is the largest multi-purpose stadium in Asia and the second largest in the world. It can seat 150,000 for events on a main pitch sprawling across over 22,500 m2 (242,200 ft2). Its total floor space is over 207,000 m2 (2.2 million ft2) across eight storeys, and the lobes of its roof peak at more than 60 m (197 ft) from the ground.
