The hippodrome in New York City took 10 months to build in 1905. It was said to be the largest theater in the world at the time with a seating capacity of 5300. It also featured a stage that was 12 times larger than average with an 8000 gallon water tank built into it that could be raised and lowered as needed. It was demolished in 1939, for a grand total of 34 years in use. Can you make it make sense?!
