Kanpur’s iconic Green Park Stadium is all set for a long-awaited transformation. The ageing and unsafe balcony structure of the historic stadium will soon be demolished, paving the way for a massive renovation project worth ₹350 crore. Once completed, the revamp is expected to completely change the look and experience of the stadium — and bring IPL action back to Kanpur.
₹350 Crore Renovation: What’s Planned
The ambitious renovation project aims to turn Green Park into a world-class cricket venue. Planned upgrades include:
- A new, modern seating structure with improved sightlines
- Enhanced spectator amenities, including washrooms and food courts
- Upgraded player facilities and dressing rooms
- Modern floodlights and media infrastructure
- Improved parking and crowd management systems
Once completed, the stadium is expected to meet BCCI and IPL hosting standards, making it competitive with newer cricket venues across India.
IPL Cheers to Return to Kanpur
One of the most exciting outcomes of the renovation is the strong possibility of IPL matches returning to Kanpur. Green Park has a rich cricketing legacy and a passionate fan base, and the upgraded stadium will once again be capable of hosting high-profile T20 clashes.
For local businesses, hospitality, and tourism, IPL matches could mean a significant economic boost and renewed national attention for the city.
Green Park Stadium has witnessed decades of cricketing history, but the upcoming transformation signals a fresh chapter. With safety issues addressed and modern infrastructure in place, Kanpur is gearing up to reclaim its spot on India’s cricketing map.
