The National Stadium, a familiar landmark in Kallang, has served Singapore tirelessly for more than 30 years. For decades, she has witnessed our nation's joys, cheers and triumphs; and above all, she has been the home of many dreams.

News announcing her retirement in 2007 triggered a wave of emotions from those who have had many happy memories on her grounds and brought forth a wealth of stories to share.

This book pays tribute to the Grand Old Dame as she passes the baton on to the new Singapore Sports Hub - from her beginnings in sleepy Kallang, to her maturity, and finally her graceful retirement from the sporting arena. As we reminisce about the past, we will also take a peek into the future with a glimpse of the new Singapore Sports Hub.
