Architect Amit Chaubal, part of the MCA project team, said they were impressed with the stadium’s design, planning, and operations. The team reviewed aspects such as the 360-degree viewing experience, pitch maintenance systems, corporate and presidential boxes, and media facilities. He also highlighted the exposed concrete structure and natural ventilation, which make the stadium environmentally efficient, along with well-planned lighting, power backup, and emergency systems.
The visit also saw the presence of BCA CEO Snehal Parikh, SSA team member Bijal Parikh, and former cricketer Atul Bedade.BCA president Pranav Amin said the stadium has become a model for modern sports infrastructure, attracting attention from major sporting bodies. He noted that after a recent visit by a delegation linked to the Commonwealth Games, the MCA’s study tour further reflects the growing recognition of the stadium’s world-class facilities.
