Sports stadiums typically started off as purely static structures, falling mostly under civil engineering. They were interesting structures, but the game being played was clearly the center of attention. However, today we have stadiums that are anything but static. Moving roofs, moving fields, moving stands, a very visible world of mechanical engineers and civil engineers working together.
A fascinating ASME video takes you on a journey through the history of stadium engineering. It doesn’t have any narration, however, the visuals and vital statistics of some of the most famous stadiums in the world are amazing. You can literally forget what game is being played. Enjoy! – Dr. Tom
