Three stands on the eastern edge of the cricket stadium site have now been demolished and piling has commenced, signaling a new chapter in the development of this historic ground.
The first of four phases, which will see the complete reconstruction of the Chidambaram Stadium by mid-2011, comprises three new reinforced concrete stands. These stands are designed to accommodate 10,000 spectators and 24 hospitality boxes under translucent PTFE membrane roofs.
The stadium, popularly known as Chepauk Stadium is the home ground of the Tamil Nadu cricket team and also for IPL’s Chennai Super Kings.
