The municipal corporation will build a new pavilion at Garware Stadium in four phases with a Rs 56 crore budget, seating 8,000 spectators. The project includes changing rooms, umpire rooms, and a commentary box. CSMC Administrator G. Sreekant has stated that they will issue tenders soon.
Garware Stadium has been neglected for several years, leading to only a few events like Lokmat's Apna Premier League being held there. CSMC administrator G. Sreekant solved water issues, using treated water to keep the lawn green year-round. State-level competitions and regular bookings have resumed. The municipal corporation has been pushing for the “Kalagram” land for over a year, but progress is stalled due to lack of political will.
