Reported in a [1] May 2002 article in the Times of India:
According to the Sports and Youth Services department, Kanteerava Indoor Stadium, built at a cost of Rs 16.5 crore with a seating capacity of 4,000, hosted only 29 championships last year. 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.
