Nerul: The D Y Patil Stadium, Nerul, will remain unavailable for sporting events, concerts and other major programmes for around 18 to 20 months as renovation work has commenced at the venue.
The work began five to six days ago and is focused mainly on upgrading spectator amenities and improving hospitality facilities. The existing spectator stands will not be demolished or reconstructed.
Additional washrooms are being constructed on the second and third levels, where facilities are currently limited. Food areas on these levels will also be expanded, allowing spectators to access food and washrooms without moving between floors.
The pavilion is set for a major revamp, with additional space being created for hospitality facilities.
“The basic repair and renovation work is being undertaken to provide spectators with a better experience. The existing spectator-area structure will remain unchanged, while the pavilion area will be redone,” said an official associated with the stadium.
The prolonged closure is expected to affect Navi Mumbai’s event calendar, as the stadium has hosted major cricket and football matches, concerts and other large-scale events.
