New Singapore Stadium – Largest Dome Ever Built

According to Gizmodo –

If huge spaces freak you out (looking at you, agoraphobes), look away now. Singapore’s huge new stadium, SportsHub, just clinched the title for the largest free-spanning dome structure ever built—stretching more than 1,010 feet across at its widest point. Designed by Arup, AECOM, and DPArchitects, this sprawling development doesn’t just include a 55,000-seat stadium—there’s also a network of pedestrian and cycling trails, infrastructure to hold all manner of games from cricket to rugby, a pool and a water park, a skate park, volleyball courts, space for canoeing and kayaking, a mall, and a huge rock climbing wall. And more. In short, it’s its own city devoted to sports.

Wrestling Was Fake In 267 AD

According to LiveScience –

Who says only modern-day pro wrestling is fake? Researchers have deciphered a Greek document that shows an ancient wrestling match was fixed.

MLB.com reports that Paul Dockal has taken his one-year-old son, Bode, to two baseball games this season at Seattle’s Safeco Field and both of those games were perfect games. In April, the White Sox’s, Philip Humber was perfect and in August, Seattle’s, Felix Hernandez threw another perfect game. Most fans never see a no-hitter; so, imagine this kid’s luck.

There have been only 23 perfect games thrown in nearly a century and a half of Major League history. Two of them were the first two games Bode Dockal ever attended in person. Paul said that, in a way, he wishes his son would never attend another game – nothing could top what he’s already seen. But he knows Bode will have to relive the magic of Humber and Felix through photos and stories rather than actual recollections. Plus, someday decades from now, Bode might walk through the gates of a stadium with a son of his own.
