==Central arena==<br />
The central playing arena measures 60 metres by 40 metres in size and consists of a [[basketball]] court and six [[badminton]] courts. The indoor stadium can also host other sporting events such as [[kabaddi]], [[taekwondo]], [[Table Tennis|table tennis]], [[boxing]], [[judo]], [[wrestling]] and [[Olympic weightlifting|weight lifting]].<br />
<br />
==Pedestrian bridge==<br />
The design of the indoor stadium involves segregation of spectators' access from the access of sports-persons and officials. Four large pedestrian bridges placed at the four cardinal points allow access to the spectators directly to the stands at the up-per level.<br />
A combination of ramps and staircases lead the spectator to a height of 3m from ground level, from where a 4m wide steel-truss bridge of 12m span leads the spectators to a circumferential corridor from where they enter into the stands.<br />
