Rungnado Stadium (above)

Moranbong Stadium (under)

It's weird seeing all those structures, and everything basically looks empty. But they are nice stadiums.

I read somewhere that the Rungnado Stadium supposedly had a capacity of 200'000 people. Now, I know that Wikipedia says its capacity is only 150'000 (perhaps revised for safety?) but that still makes it the largest stadium in the world by seating capacity; so doesn't that warrant a thread of its own? :P

If you spend a bit of time just looking around north korea on google earth, you can actually see a huge amount of stadiums, many are unused and seem to have been turned into campsites or military camps. Have a real close look in and around pyongyang and you'll see what I mean, it's weird!

Nice, 3 large stadiums in a city of 3 million. The press shows a side of the coin.

It's not that weird, it's communism. Gotta keep the workers working, and since the only thing NK exports is B.S. You gotta have workers build something besides statues and apartment blocks

Those highrises actually look pretty good! I googled it and I think it might be "Kurata Street", an elite build for the 100th anniversary of Kim-Il Sung's birth.

It's usually called Changjon Street from what I've seen.
