## History

[edit]

In 1946, the Corporation stadium was built on a portion of land occupied by the People's Park in Central Chennai.[2][3][4] It had a capacity of 20,000 and consisted of six cricket pitches with field hockey and football fields on either side surrounded by a 30 ft (9.1 m) wide athletics track.[5] The stadium was used to host sport matches and other official events such as the parade during Mountbatten's visit to Madras in 1946.[6] It hosted six test cricket matches from 1956 to 1965.[7]

In the early 1990s, C. R. Viswanathan, then the Secretary of the Tamil Nadu Football Association, approached the then Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu Jayalalithaa with a plan to refurbish the old Corporation stadium into new modern facility.[8] The stadium was refurbished in 1992 in a span of 234 days, at a cost of ₹440 million (US$5.1 million) and the capacity was expanded to 40,000. [9][10] It was named after India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.[11] The stadium hosted the Nehru Cup international football tournament in January-February 1993.[5][9] It later hosted the football matches at the 1995 South Asian Games, and other international matches.[12]

An indoor stadium with a capacity of 8,000 was added at a cost of ₹200 million (US$2.3 million) in 1995.[5][10] In 1998, the indoor stadium hosted the World Volleyball Grand Prix tournament.[13][14] In 2012-13, the Government of Tamil Nadu renovated the stadium at a cost of ₹178.06 million (US$2.1 million).[10] The indoor stadium was refurbished at a cost of ₹120 million (US$1.4 million) and added a new skating rink.[15] A new synthetic athletics track, new football turf, and floodlights were added, and new accommodations were constructed. A new warm-up facility was constructed to the north of the stadium at a cost of ₹331 million (US$3.9 million).[11][10][16] The stadium underwent further renovation in 2023 before it served as the host of the fifth Khelo India Youth Games in January 2024.[1][17]

## Facilities
