Conceptual Design and Economic Analysis of a floating stadium for indoor games in the capital city of Bangladesh

Abstract

The overpopulated city of Dhaka faces a severe shortage of open fields and playgrounds with a deficit of 152.80 acres. To address this problem, an alternative solution in the form of an Indoor Floating Stadium has been conceptualized. The stadium will be built on available calm water such as Hatirjheel, Dhanmondi Lake, Purbachal Ecopark lake, Nikunja Lake, Ramna Lake, Diabari Lake, and Chandrima Udyan, providing an open space for children and adults alike. It is expected to serve as a versatile venue for a variety of sports events and practice sessions for neighborhood or school-based sports teams. The stadium has the potential to inspire and educate the younger generation while connecting people from diverse backgrounds and ethnicities through the power of sports. The economic viability of the indoor stadium has been also analyzed, and it has been concluded that it is a viable solution for the city.
