Work on the foundation for the $60 million Hung Hom Indoor Stadium
Complex is progressing snoothly.
The works include piling and the construction of caissons and
caps for a large podium slab which will support the indoor stadium.
They also include foundation works for minor buildings in the
complex, a spokesman for the Public Works Department said today.
The stadium will be fully air-conditioned and is designed to
seat 15,000 spectators. But the maximum seating capacity may be increased
to 17,000 by the addition of temporary seats on part of the arena.
The spokesman said that the number of seats could also be reduced
to suit smaller gatherings by means of curtain partitions,
The arena of the stadium can be used for sports events such as
basketball, volleyball, tennis, badminton, boxing, weigh lifting, fencing,
and gymnastics.
The arena will accommodate eight badminton courts at one time,
or two courts for tennis, basketball, or volleyball matches.
It will also be used extensively for a variety of non-sports
functions, such as skating, singing, dancing and variety shows, as well as
theatrical and circus performances.
