The design of the stadium incorporates mainly three components i.e., play fields as per international standards, open seating steps for public and a covered seating pavilion for V.I.P. spectators.
The V.I.P. pavilion has been designed for a seating capacity of 1500 persons. The design of the pavilion is governed by the factors like comfortable viewing angles, international norms for seating, provision of necessary facilities for players, besides the time and budgetary constraints. Meticulously designed pavilion accommodates changing rooms for players, wash rooms, pantry, lounge, entrance foyer and offices at ground level that is underneath the seating steps.
RCC framed structure has been adopted up to seating level with brick masonry infill walls. The canopy on the seating area is designed in pre-engineered steel structure which has been introduced first time in such buildings in the state. This structure has an edge over the conventional structures as it proves to be more precise, hassle free, economical and less time consuming. The structural components like pillars, girders, purlins etc., are designed as per exact requirements, and to be manufactured in factories with great precision. These components then will be brought at site and assembled in short span of time.
The overlapping period of civil construction at site and manufacturing of pre-engineered components in factories will save precious time and money – the two major constraints. Apart from providing basic facilities to players and spectators, the pavilion will add a grandeur and contemporary look to the entire stadium. Being located in a small town of Punjab, the stadium with international style of architecture will become important landmarks in the area. The sports fraternity in particular and public in general will surely feel proud of this infrastructure in the state.
