For 180 days, the stadium was booked for consumer and industrial exhibitions, film award functions, religious meets and a few birthday celebrations of politicians.Koramangala stadium, built at a cost of Rs 8 crore with a seating capacity of 2,000, was the venue for fashion shows and exhibitions."Though the stadia are offered free for sports, they are booked more for socio-cultural programmes. Except a few indoor games like shuttle badminton and table tennis, people prefer to play other games outdoors. To earn revenue towards stadia maintenance, we rent it out for other events," a senior official said.
