The enormous temporary stand at the World Cup stadium in Ekaterinburg, Russia. FIFA regulations state that each World Cup venue must have a minimum capacity of 35,000. The stadium only held 23,000 spectators and renovation was impossible with time quickly running out, so the enormous temporary stands were erected at either end of the pitch to reach the requirement.
