London-based practice Hopkins Architects has started work on the first phase of the new reconstruction project of M. A. Chidambaram Stadium at Chepauk in Chennai, capital city of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu.

Three stands on the eastern edge of the cricket stadium site have now been demolished and piling has commenced, signaling a new chapter in the development of this historic ground.

The first of four phases, which will see the complete reconstruction of the Chidambaram Stadium by mid-2011, comprises three new reinforced concrete stands. These stands are designed to accommodate 10,000 spectators and 24 hospitality boxes under translucent PTFE membrane roofs.

The stadium, popularly known as Chepauk Stadium is the home ground of the Tamil Nadu cricket team and also for IPL's Chennai Super Kings.

Roof

Why can't they just build a permanent roof covering all the seats instead of having a canvas roof with all the ropes and protruding poles. with BCCI being richest off all the boards in the whole world, why can't they allot money to chennai, I really don't know why chennai is not given importance while conducting important matches like semi finals or finals is this due to space limitation or north superiority in the BCCI, they always choose either bombay or bangalore, with krish srikanth being chairmen of selectors he should do a lot bringing important matches to this stadium
