Stadium Shah Alam
This is a partially covered stadium that seats 80,000. The roof structure is rather dramatic and it seems that 'from the air, the stadium looks like a partially open giant eye, without the eyeball'.
Every time I pass by this rather dramatic structure, I think of the 'giant eye' and the spectators moving along the vomitoria* of it to get to their seats and watch a great game/concert, hopefully. I have never been into this stadium for any sports/concert, so I do not have any 'inside' photos of it. But I hope to do so to get a feel of its grandeur. Anyone got free tickets for the next great game/concert there?

* Not the place to vomit (eeuw!), but the architectural term for 'Passageways connecting an outside entrance to a tier of seats'.

Last night I got to enter the Shah Alam Stadium to watch The Sultan of Selangor's Cup 2014 match between Selangor and Singapore. Check out my blog post "My first football game: TSSC 2014" dated 29 September 2014. Below are two pictures of the stadium interior taken during the event.
Stadium Melawati
This stadium seats 12,000 on four sides of a central space and is air-conditioned. The roof is covered in copper sheets so the indoor arena is totally enclosed.
I have been into this stadium a couple of times, once to see the RTM Hits 1 finals concert which A was co-hosting. But I do not have any pictures of the inside of this stadium, nor do I have good pictures of the outside!
