When making the adjustments, the opinion of the Stadium Advisory Committee consisting of supporters and sponsors of the club, and the residents of the surrounding neighborhoods were taken into consideration to the extent possible. Though the design adjustments have been made, but fans’ comfort quotient will not be compromised. The urban development plan, the development plan and the zoning plan remains unchanged.
