@namewtheld JLN stadium was completely rebuilt. The old JLN stadium was demolished and this one rebuilt. Very little part of original JLN stadium you will seenow in this new stadium. Same way they should have rebuilt Salt lake stadium from the scratch. Unfortunately in last 10-20 years lot of money has been wasted in various makeups. I remember it used to have bucket seats, but those seats were used as Missiles so they removed those seats. How much times was wasted in repairing Floodlights Then artificial turf was brought with much fanfare, then reverted back to natural turf. Now again bucket seats for ISL. Still the look of stadium is old and unimpressive. The problem it seems that West Bengal Government will not spend 500 to 800 crores on complete rebuilding of the stadium-something they should have done 10 years ago.
@ArsenalFan700 Those NZ stadiums seems to be Rugby Stadiums . Their main sport as well as venues for Rugby World Cup and they also double up as Football stadiums. Our Cricket stadiums are also great. U-17 or U-20 age group world cups do not entertain such massive investments.
