Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium of Delhi

The Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium is a large sporting venue in Delhi. This is a large venue that is home to several different sporting events. It has hosted several notable events in the past as well. This stadium is also famous for its unique design.

The Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium was built in 1982 by the Indian government. It was named in honor of the country's first Prime Minister. The stadium was built as a site for large sporting events and other large cultural activities in Delhi.ADS_TO_REPLACE_1

The stadium is noted primarily as a football field. It is the home field for the country?s national football team.

The construction of the stadium is very impressive. It is built with a large circular pattern and an impressive series of triangle beams around the outside of the stadium. These beams will be illuminated by many colored lights during the evening hours. This design helps to make the stadium stand out from its surroundings.

There is also a large roof that is made out of Teflon at the outside parts of the stadium. This is used as a means of creating a shade for spectators to enjoy. The actual playing field is not covered by anything.ADS_TO_REPLACE_2

This roof is also supported with a series of cables to ensure that it will not fall apart or obstruct anyone's views. This is a structure that is similar to what will be used for the main Olympic Stadium in London for the 2012 Summer Olympics.

The interesting point about this roof is that it was not used in the original construction of the stadium. It was created when the 2010 Commonwealth Games was to be hosted at the stadium. This has prompted the capacity of the stadium to be reduced by a couple thousand people to its current capacity of sixty thousand for sporting events.

There are also a couple of additional buildings surrounding the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. There is a small gymnasium that is right next door to the stadium. There are also a few smaller lawn bowling greens adjacent to the stadium.ADS_TO_REPLACE_3

The first large event that the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium hosted was the 1982 Asian Games. This is a large Olympic-style competition that features several different sports and competition between several countries around Asia. This was actually the second time that the Asian Games was held in Delhi. The first ever games were held here in 1951.

The 1989 Asian Athletics Championships were also held at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. This is a large track and field event that covers athletes from all around Asia.

The stadium has most recently been the host to the opening and closing ceremonies for the 2010 Commonwealth Games. However, the capacity of the stadium has to be reduced for the event. Again, this was due to the creation of the roof over the seating areas at the stadium.ADS_TO_REPLACE_4

Concerts have taken place at the stadium as well. The most notable concert to have been held here is a benefit concert that was held by Amnesty International in 1988.

Some cricket matches are held at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium as well. These include matches that feature the country's national cricket team.

Today the stadium is able to handle around sixty thousand people for a typical sporting event. It can also handle a hundred thousand people for concerts.ADS_TO_REPLACE_5

This great stadium is a notable place for all sorts of great sporting and cultural events. The Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium is a place that is not only impressive in its design but is also impressive for the many different events that it has hosted since it was first built.
