==History==
The stadium was built on the area where the old [[Madras Zoo]] was located before it was shifted to its present location in at [[Vandalur]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.aazoopark.in/index.php|title=Arignar Anna zoological Park|access-date=4 July 2015}}</ref> It was known as the Corporation stadium until the 1980s and used to witness houseful audience for even the city league matches. When C. R. Viswanathan, then the Secretary of the [[Tamil Nadu Football Association]], was keen on bringing the Nehru Cup international football tournament to Chennai, a stadium of international standard was required. He approached the then Chief Minister [[J. Jayalalithaa|J Jayalalithaa]] with a plan to convert the old Corporation stadium into a brand-new ultra-modern facility.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Ramchand |first1=Partab |title=Sports-loving Jayalalithaa remembered |url=http://www.madrasmusings.com/vol-26-no-17/sports-loving-jayalalithaa-remembered/ |publisher=Madras Musings |date=2016}}</ref> The Chief Minister soon gave her approval<ref name="LoneIndianStar">{{cite news |last1=Reporter |first1=Sports |title=Lone Indian Star, the stadium |url=http://madrasmusings.com/older-archives/Vol%202/Vol%20II%20-%20No%2019.pdf |publisher=Madras Musings |date=1993}}</ref> and the new stadium was built in 1993, within a span of 234 days, at a cost of {{INRConvert|440|m}}.<ref name="SDAT"/> In January 1993, the competition was conducted successfully in the new facility that was acknowledged to be arguably the best in the country also doubling up as a track and field venue.<ref name="LoneIndianStar"/> In 2012, the [[Government of Tamil Nadu]] renovated the indoor stadium at a cost of {{INRConvert|120|m}} with a new skating rink.<ref>{{cite news|title = Jawaharlal Nehru indoor stadium to be renovated at Rs. 10 crore|newspaper = The Hindu| location = Chennai| date = 19 April 2012| url = http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/chennai/article3329062.ece|access-date = 1 May 2012}}</ref> In 2013, [[Government of Tamil Nadu]] upgraded the synthetic athletics track, football turf, floodlights and upgrading added a warm-up track north of the stadium at a cost of {{INRConvert|331|m}}.<ref name="SDAT"/><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/chennai/nehru-stadium-work-stalls-sports-days-for-chennai-schools/article4861024.ece|title=Nehru stadium work stalls sports days|newspaper=The Hindu|date=29 July 2013|access-date=4 July 2015}}</ref>
