After the BCCI chose Bengaluru as the centre for the National Cricket Academy in 2000 , many budding cricketers have passed out of the Academy housed on this ground . This stadium also served as venue for the 1996 Miss World pageant . The KSCA planned to increase the seating capacity to 70,000 , as well as considered constructing a newer cricket stadium with seating capacity of 70,000 – 80,000 . However , none of those plans have materialised as of now . Chinnaswamy Stadium is also the home ground of the Bengaluru franchise team , the Royal Challengers Bangalore . The stadium was given a facelift for the first season of the IPL . It was painted in red and yellow , the team colours of the Royal Challengers and also the colours of the Kannada flag ( cultural flag )
