away. The airport Swami Vivekananda Airport, formerly known as Mana Airport, lies 5-7 kilometres and separates the new city from Raipur.
OPPORTUNITY
• New Raipur Stadium can invite sports participant and thus this
can boost the success of the sports complex with a large
scale participation.
• College and schools around the area can attract the youth
and casual users around it.
• Proper planning and management of the project could lead
the revitalization of the whole precinct and could lead to an
urban sprawl.

WEAKNESS
• Distant from the city, on the north east corner of Naya Raipur.
the travel time is more from south residential zone.
• A portion of site is wetland, therefore the construction process
is relatively complicated due to low soil bearing capacity.
Site Condition Geography & Topography
THREATS
• During monsoon, the wetland could flood causing damage
around it.
• The project is a new concept to the state and can fail if it
does not gain the confidence of the community around it.

Raipur is located near the center of a large plain, sometimes referred as the "rice bowl of India", where hundreds of
varieties of rice are grown.

Raipur has a tropical wet and dry climate, temperatures remain moderate throughout the year, except from March to
June, which can be extremely hot.
The temp. In April–May sometimes rises above 42 °C .These summer months also have dry and hot winds.
The city receives about 1,300 mm of rain, mostly in the monsoon season from late June to early October.
Winters last from November to January and are mild, although lows can fall to 5 °C making it reasonably cold.

SITE DATA
The site comes under sector 3 of naya Raipur plan.
The site is well connected by new Raipur road, railways (12 km away) and airports (14 kms). In future development Project Site

CLIMATIC ANALYSIS OUTCOMES :
There is an existing cricket stadium, Shaheed veer Narayan Singh stadium.
It has seating capacity of 65,000 people.  Raipur falls under tropical wet and dry climatic region.

Multi-Purpose Fields in the Sports Event

The Multi-purpose (or multi-sport) field, a facility
with dimensions and markings to accommodate a
variety of sports.

What are the advantages to having multi-purpose fields?

• It's really a Cost-effective way to get more events on the ground.
• You have to have the ability to be much more flexible. They can
host not just two or more sports, but even tournaments for
younger kids where the field size is different.

It's great for field owners, but what about the athletes? Do they
have any reservations about playing on a field marked with
multiple lines?
It has been our experience that the athletes are not that distracted
by it. They seem to be more focused on playing. There might be lines
for soccer, football, lacrosse -- but when you're actually on the field
and in a game, it's is like the other lines disappear.
What about referees? Are they confused by it?
Not really. It's seems to be the same for officials as it is for the
athletes -- they know where the lines are and where the players
should be.

Sports is inspired by the human urge to move. From birth to death we are
in constantly in motion, even when we are resting. If we do not find

pursue it in games and sport.
