Here are the highs and lows of the five-year old facility:

June 2014: SportsHub Pte Ltd (SHPL) opens the doors to the Singapore Sports Hub. The first event held at the $1.33 billion venue is the South-east Asian Swimming Championships at the OCBC Aquatic Centre.

August 2014: The National Stadium hosts its first football match as Italian giants Juventus beat a Singapore selection 5-0. Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri does not play star striker Carlos Tevez because he fears the pitch's poor quality will result in an injury to the Argentinian.

October 2014: Brazil thump Japan 4-0 in an exhibition match, with superstar Neymar scoring all four goals. But defender Felipe Luis calls the pitch "horrible", and Sport Singapore laments that the sandy pitch was a "significant disappointment".

October 2014: Singapore risks being stripped of co-hosting rights for the AFF Suzuki Cup because a Jay Chou concert and an exhibition rugby match slated at the Sports Hub just before the tournament contravene Asean Football Federation requirements. The concert was moved and rugby match eventually scrapped, but Singapore crash out at the group stage of the Cup on home soil.

The figure was reportedly lowered to $10 million later, but the total cost of staging the parade at Kallang was estimated to be $39.4 million, about double that of the cost of having it at the Marina Bay floating platform. It remains the only time the NDP is staged at the Sports Hub.
