Events

[edit]

The stadium is used to perform cultural shows as well as sporting events, with big concerts from various national and international artists taking place there occasionally. Since the stadium is a public sports infrastructure that the university manages independently, permission from the university authorities is required for its use by entertainers. Some of the concerts presented at the stadium include:
