Solar electricity and wind power, since it is a floating platform, would provide it with a good amount of electrical power. It wouldn't be so hard to then route that power into running the hover systems, aided by wind dust that gets replenished every three months or so. Automated systems and small-scale AI robots (not Penny scale, just robots smart enough to check everything and report to one human who can read the reports when they come in) would relieve the pressure on human crew.

Yes, it would still be a lot of work. But if they made it first and didn't think about docking, then worked on 'well, nothing has gone wrong so far, lets just never dock it', it would be a good reason to have it floating constantly. Who knows; this tournament may be 'the first time' that something happens, resulting in the stadium coming down for 'the first time' and everyone is scrambling because 'who could have known!'

There's the phrase, there's always a first time, which I think probably lends itself quite well to this situation.
