The Story Behind
Dreams turning into reality it’s all that we want in our lives. The same dream happened long back in 2009, when Udit Sheth founder and managing director of this Arena, a 31 years man, who wanted to develop and change the mindset of people regarding sports and nurture young talent. To build one of the best sports-of-art infrastructure was his dream, he proposed this dream to many states but at that time our Honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi was the Chief Minister of Gujarat and he as to for the development liked the idea and granted the permission. Udit Sheth with the help and thought process of one of his board of directors in UK “Paul Fetcher”, a Stadiologist  who has spent 40 years of his life in  football business, 20 years as a player. Paul has been managing clubs and stadiums post his football career.

"So he invented some technological upgrades and one of them we have implemented here which is 'StadiArena' with the drop down doors. We have also brought in our own pattern of retractable seating, the turf protector”.

This were the technologies UK was using and Udit Sheth saw all this and thought a country like India where sports is given a higher post than any other thing so why do not skip through the old stadiums and get something new and innovative in technologies, why should technoogy only foster in gadgets why not somewhere when it is needed more.

The stadium was made by breaking down a defunct diary in Maninagar, Ahmedabad and it replaced the old diary.

He was asked many times that why he chose Ahmedabad why not any other big state or a city, reply came the way that this was the only state with a positive response to the technological change and after this many changes happened the state used to come 36th world wide but know it ranks 6th in the whole nation, according to it the budget of sports increased in the state of Gujarat from 35 crore to 350 crore which shows a positive response for the state as well. answering this question for him was not that easy and random as he has tested around 30000 kids and said that there is really a requirement of this kind of technology in the whole world.

Happening of the world’s best event is only the moto of this Arena. So, more people come to know about this place and technology comes to use at its best.
