The 23rd Southeast Asian Games were held in the Philippines from November 27th to
December 5th in 2005. The games were participated by the eleven nations of Southeast Asia. This
was the first time that the opening and closing ceremonies were held in a large open field, despite
the fact that Manila has many stadiums. The organization decided to hold the games at an open
space to accommodate the large number of participants and spectators. As a result, the 2005 SEA
Games ranked as having the largest audience - 200,000 people – during the opening and closing
