A street food vendor around the Stadium area pockets his inventory on a cosy corner wall. The area is being renovated as the eponymous soccer field's protracted construction nears completion. Bicycles for rental, informal driving instructors and the make-shift tent shops synonymous with the area are being slowly removed. The six-decade-old stadium has been under construction for five years due to changing contractors and skyrocketing input costs. Kejela Merdasa, the minister of Culture & Sports, has recently placed a deadline for next year.
