It houses a running track, a volleyball court, and two outdoor rock climbing walls. The stadium is owned by the Department of Youth Empowerment and Sports, Government of Karnataka.[2] It is the largest sports complex in Bangalore.[3]
Renamed after Yuvaraja Kanteerava Narasimharaja Wadiyar, the stadium, constructed on the bed of the Sampangi Lake, was inaugurated in 1946 by his son Maharaja Jayachamaraja Wadiyar.

The stadium was established in 1946 and was named Sampangi Stadium.[5] It was built on the bed of Sampangi Lake which was perceived as an environmental hazard and was drained in 1937 after it was neglected following supply of piped water from the Hesaraghatta Lake within Bangalore.[6] The stadium had a six-lane cinder track then, before the present synthetic track was laid. Sprinter Milkha Singh trained here in 1952.[5] The stadium hosted the touring Soviet Union national team in an exhibition game against the Mysore State XI in February 1955. The Soviets won 7–1.[7] Other sporting events held in the stadium include the final of the 1962 edition of the Santosh Trophy which the home Mysore team (now Karnataka team) won, and the 1996 edition of the National Games.[8]
Central arena[edit | edit source]

In addition to sporting events, the stadium also hosts walkathon, filmmaking, rallies and exhibition.[2]
The stadium contains four large arched entrances leading on to the inner field and lower spectator stands. The stadium has eight ramps taking spectators to the upper stands. Thus in total, 12 gates for spectators serve the stadium.[4]
