Kai Tak Sports Park ‘ready to open’, Hong Kong officials say after last big test
Hong Kong's Kai Tak Sports Park is set to officially open on March 1st, following extensive testing and preparations. Authorities have conducted nearly 20 test runs over the past four months, culminating in a final large-scale stress test involving over 50,000 participants across the park's three venues.
The HK$30 billion park is poised to become a significant driver for Hong Kong's mega-event economy, hosting performances by international stars like Coldplay and Jay Chou later this year. The final test included a performance at the main 50,000-seat stadium, with participants also utilizing the arena and youth sports ground. To improve spectator dispersal, a "Leave Easy" webpage was launched, providing real-time information on crowd conditions and estimated travel times to transportation hubs.
