Since its commencement, the Gelora Bunga Karno Main Stadium (SUGBK) has come a matter of pride for the people of Indonesia. The' temper'of this colosseum can be said to have radiated from the morning of its construction.
It may feel a bit inflated, but it's respectable if we look back at GBK's part as an early corner in structure development in Indonesia, especially public sports structure.
Well, the construction of GBK also has its own intriguing literal data for us to bandy. The following are the data behind the construction of GBK, including
1. Erected to host the IV Asian Games
During an examination of the Asian Games IV mega design on July 18, 1961, Bung Karno emphasized to all those involved in the construction of the Asian Games mega design to work hard to realize the desire to come a great country.
Gelora Bung Karno Stadium was erected on February 8, 1960 and opened to the public on July 21, 1962. The appointment of Indonesia as the host of the IV Asian Games in 1958 in Tokyo also came the background for the construction of this one colosseum.
2. The construction was supported by the Soviet Union
The construction of the GBK colosseum by Indonesia is clearly not without the help of foreign countries. The Soviet Union (Russia), which at that time had good relations with Indonesia, actually helped apply the GBK colosseum construction design.
To the extent that the country also advanced finances for the construction of12.5 million US bones to Indonesia in 1958. Plus the Soviet Union also transferred some of its leading engineers and heavy outfit to help carry out the design to completion.
3. Had displaced Betawi vill in its construction
It turned out that the eviction of the houses of thousands of Jakartans had to be carried out in order to produce this magnific sports complex. Residers also gave up their land and houses to the government at that time, they were willing to be dislocated to other areas when Bung Karno claimed on making Senayan the largest sports venue belonging to Indonesia.
The townlets that were evicted to make the Gelora Bung Karno complex include Senayan, Petunduan, Kebon Kelapa, and Bendungan Hilir. In total, the area can reach279.1 hectares.
4. Has a capacity of observers at the morning of its construction
At the time of its original construction, the colosseum had a veritably large capacity of observers. In its day, this colosseum could be said to be the largest colosseum in the world.
Still, due to several emendations and updates, the GBK colosseum's followership capacity has dropped a lot. Until now, the GBK colosseum can only accommodate observers.
5. Has a cuff meeting roof design
At the time of its construction, President Soekarno ordered Soviet engineers to make a cuff meeting roof in order to cover the entire followership from the rain and hot sun. Still, Bung Karno's idea at that time was considered unusual. Because, at that time the colosseum was generally only given a roof in one part.
At that time, President Soekarno remained at his original position. The main colosseum must have a tiled roof. He wants the extraordinary and can not be ordinary. According to Soekarno, the actuality of this cuff meeting roof can dumbfound anyone who sees it.
6. His name was changed for political reasons
Behind its splendor, it turns out that the GBK colosseum was renamed the Senayan Main Stadium for reasons that were politically charged during the New Order period in the environment ofde-Soekarnoization. 4 of 1984.
Still, after the rise of thepost-1998 reform period, the name of this colosseum was returned by President Abdurrahman Wahid to its original name, videlicet the Gelora Bung Karno colosseum through Presidential DecreeNo. 7 of 2001.
Those are some data that accompany the establishment of the pride of the Indonesian people, which of course has a long history. Have you ever been to the Gelora Bung Karno colosseum?
