At present, the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, with a seating capacity of 90,000 people, is the largest stadium in India.<\/p>\n<p><b>4,000 acres acquired<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cA total of 4,000 acres have been acquired from farmers of which 75 acres will be used to construct an international cricket stadium and the rest will be used to build houses and plots which will be allocated to farmers as well as other applicants. By taking the initiative to build an international standard stadium in Suryanagar, we have paved the way for the comprehensive development of this area from all aspects including sports, tourism, job creation and economic growth,\u201d Siddaramaiah said.<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cAfter the\u00a0stampede at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium\u00a0in Bengaluru claimed 11 lives during the Royal Challengers Bengaluru\u2019s victory celebrations, we decided to construct a bigger stadium that has a large seating capacity. Ours will be the second largest stadium in India. It was a much-needed infrastructure for the State to encourage sports and give opportunities for young talent in the State and country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The move comes despite\u00a0opposition from a section of farmers and environmentalists. Farmers had said\u00a0that the area for the proposed stadium lies in proximity to the Karadikkal-Mahadeshwara wildlife corridor, and that building a huge stadium in this area would have an adverse impact on the environment and wildlife.<\/p>\n<p>But the CM justified the decision and said, \u201cThe land value was low here before the acquisition of land by the government to build the stadium, which has now doubled. In the coming days, a Games village (Kreeda Grama) will be also developed close to the stadium.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Explaining that there will be no injustice done to the farmers whose properties were acquired, he said, \u201cEach farmer will be provided land as per their surrendered size of land with a 50:50 share to the farmer and the government. They can sell it at higher prices as the prices have doubled now or construct on their property allocated to them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar said, \u201cBy building this stadium and developing Suryanagar in Anekal, we assure Cauvery drinking water to every house, employment and sports complex in your neighbourhood.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also highlighted that this infrastructure development will definitely help ease Bengaluru traffic and bring international and national players to the stadium so that people are exposed to the ecosystem of sports.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"publish-time\" id=\"end-of-article\">Published on May 23, 2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sportstar.thehindu.com\/cricket\/karnataka-new-cricket-stadium-size-capacity-location-wildlife-concerns-facilities-rcb-stampede-m-chinnaswamy\/article71015683.ece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Karnataka will soon have the second largest cricket stadium after Gujarat in Indlawadi village, Surya Nagar 4th phase, in Anekal Taluk.
