L'ancien stade du Lumpinee va fermer début 2014 et un nouveau sera ouvert dans la foulé mieux équipé !
Citation:
The stadium on Rama IV Road is a stone's throw from the former site of the Armed Forces Academies Preparatory School in the busy Bangkok commercial and tourism district.
Cramped for space, the 3-rai stadium sits on prime real estate which its owner, the Crown Property Bureau, is considering for commercial development.
The Army Welfare Department has decided the stadium, which it runs, needs a bigger home away from the traffic-clogged heart of the city.
The army has granted permission for the use of its sports facility on Ram Intra Road on which to build a new, spruced-up stadium.
The old stadium, which will close its doors in early 2014, will leave behind a legacy.
It was established in 1956 on the order of former military strongman Prapass Charusathiara.
He had the stadium built while he was commander of the 1st Division, King's Guard, in Bangkok.
The stadium project came into being as a rival to the older Ratchadamnoen Boxing Stadium on Ratchadamnoen Nok Avenue in terms of facilities and standards.
Lumpinee has hosted so many historic matches over the decades that it became the mecca for muay Thai boxers the world over. Winners at Lumpinee are held in high esteem by boxing professionals.
Champions of the two prestigious stadiums often compete in sold-out matches and the stakes for the winners hit the roof.
Lumpinee is open between 6pm and 10pm on Tuesdays and Fridays and between 5pm and half past midnight on Saturday. No boxing matches are held on religious holidays.
Maj Gen Surakai Chuttumart, director of the Army Welfare Department who is also Lumpinee Boxing Stadium master, said the army laid a ceremonial stone foundation for the new stadium on Aug 21. The event was presided over by army chief Gen Prayuth Chan-ocha, who chairs the executive board of the stadium.

Maj Gen Surakai said the new stadium will be fully equipped and integrated with modern facilities and technological features on offer. It is designed to provide convenience and accessibility to physically challenged people.
The stadium will have three buildings, the main one containing the principal boxing ring and which will be air-conditioned.
It will have 500 ringside seats, 800 seats on the second floor and 2,500 seats on the third floor. Combined with those with standing tickets, the ring can accommodate up to 8,000 people.
