The stadium, which has hosted domestic matches for the last couple of years, can host a capacity of 33,000 fans.

The Mullanpur stadium has a well-equipped herringbone drainage system, which helps in removal of water within 25-30 minutes after the rain stops. Instead of using traditional soil, the ground is made of sand, which is difficult to maintain, but provides good stability.

The stadium will officially be inaugurated when Punjab Kings begins its campaign against the Delhi Capitals on March 23.
