The original Workers' Stadium (simplified Chinese: 工人体育场; traditional Chinese: 工人體育場; pinyin: Gōngrén Tǐyùchǎng), often abbreviated as Gongti or Gong Ti (simplified Chinese: 工体; traditional Chinese: 工體; pinyin: Gōng Tǐ), was a multi-purpose stadium in Chaoyang District, Beijing, China. The stadium was built in 1959, and was renovated in 2004 (the concrete structure strengthened, a new rotating display screen and energy-saving devices installed). The stadium was closed for a complete rebuild in 2020 and reopened on 15 April 2023 as a new stadium built on the original site.[2][3][4] It had a capacity of 65,094 and covered a land area of 350,000 square metres (3,800,000 sq ft). It was one of the Ten Great Buildings constructed in 1959 for the tenth anniversary of the People's Republic of China.
