It maybe noted that the stadium has been recently renovated, with one of the biggest changes being the installation of a natural grass pitch.

Statically, a Natural turf is preferred by many players as it provides better grip, reduces injury risks, and allows for smoother gameplay compared to artificial turf. The Shillong cool weather also makes it a good surface to play on.

The players of Mumbai FC are also having their practice session at the natural ground at NEHU.

NorthEast United FC is currently in the 4th place while Mumbai City FC is in the 6th place. Both teams will be looking to grab three points as the season heads towards its crucial phase.
