The 30 acres land for the facility was acquired in early-2000s by KM Ramprasad, who was the president of the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) during that time. The facility hosted its first official match in 2011,[4] with the Royal Challengers-KSCA Academy moving to the venue soon after.[5] In 2013, KSCA inaugurated the facility's Platinum Jubilee Pavilion which serves as a common pavilion for Golden and Silver Ovals.[6][2] The facility has 22 practice pitches,[2] and an indoor practice provision.[3]
