Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium Complex<br />
The Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium Complex is located near<br />
the Central Government Offices Complex in the Lodhi<br />
Road area. Built by GoI in 1982, for the 9th Asian <strong>Games</strong>, the<br />
stadium has been serving as an all-purpose sports ground.<br />
It was the competition venue for Athletics, Weightlifting<br />
and Lawn Bowls and the training venue for Athletics and<br />
Weightlifting. Apart from this, it also has hostels and an<br />
administrative block.<br />
The Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium Complex was the flagship<br />
stadium for Delhi 2010 as the Opening and the Closing<br />
Ceremonies were conducted here. The unique membrane<br />
roof has the capacity to shelter 60,000 spectators. Its special<br />
features are the two outer basket-like supporting columned<br />
structures carrying not only the compression rings but also<br />
the complete ramp system for access and evacuation. The<br />
membrane of the roof was illuminated during night hours<br />
with state-of-the-art façade lighting.<br />
