The Supachalasai National Stadium will be converted into a new musical place in accordance with the Ministry of Tourism and Sports.
The Department of Physical Education’s commitment to use the national facility is about to expire, according to Minister Sorawong Thienthong. Chulalongkorn University, the landowner, may receive the center back.
The minister may represent the university in court when negotiations arise regarding a lease of the interior stadium for concerts by the minister.
Thailand will now have a place to host concerts or main activities, he said.
Pathumwan Palace once owned the land on which the facility is situated.
The stadium’s construction began in 1937 and was finished in 1941.
The facility is 72 metres wide and 110m much featuring an eight-lane running track and a seating capacity of 19, 615, four performer rooms, a referee place, a media room, a VIP welcome room, a patient’s space, and a press conference room.
Supachalasai Stadium has hosted numerous regional sporting events and performances, including the 1993 Blackpink World Tour and 1993’s Hazardous World Tour.
Ramkhamhaeng Road in the Bang Kapi city is the site of Rajamangala National Stadium, which is located next to the Ministry of Tourism and Sports.
The center is overseen by the Sports Authority of Thailand, said Mr Sorawong.
He said,” We are debating whether to make it a concession or a joint investment project between the government and the private sector.”
Funding is required for construction job because the construction is in disrepair.
However, it might not be for repairing. There are many parties interested in renovating the facility, he said, if the private market is permitted to run it.
