परिचय: लेबाक बुलुस स्टेडियम की विरासत

लेबाक बुलुस स्टेडियम, कभी दक्षिण जकार्ता, इंडोनेशिया में एक जीवंत स्थल था, जो इंडोनेशियाई फुटबॉल और शहरी समुदाय जीवन के केंद्र के रूप में कार्य करता था। आधिकारिक तौर पर 1987 में खोला गया, स्टेडियम ने दिग्गज फुटबॉल मैचों, प्रतिष्ठित संगीत समारोहों और सामुदायिक समारोहों की मेजबानी की, जिसने शहर के सामाजिक और सांस्कृतिक ताने-बाने को गहराई से प्रभावित किया। 2014 और 2016 के बीच इसका विध्वंस जकार्ता के शहरी विकास में एक महत्वपूर्ण बदलाव का प्रतीक है, जो जकार्ता मास रैपिड ट्रांजिट (एमआरटी) डिपो और स्टेशन के लिए रास्ता बना रहा है - यह शहर की आधुनिक, टिकाऊ बुनियादी ढांचे के प्रति प्रतिबद्धता का प्रमाण है (टेम्पो; जकार्ता एमआरटी आधिकारिक वेबसाइट)।

हालांकि स्टेडियम अब खड़ा नहीं है, लेकिन इसकी भावना फुटबॉल प्रशंसकों, विशेष रूप से द जकमैनिया, और जकार्ता के निरंतर शहरी परिवर्तन की यादों में जीवित है। आज, साइट पर लेबाक बुलुस ग्रैब एमआरटी स्टेशन के माध्यम से पहुंचा जा सकता है, जो जकार्ता के प्रतिष्ठित अतीत और उसके गतिशील भविष्य के बीच एक ठोस कड़ी प्रदान करता है (एकेडेमिया.एडू व्यवहार्यता अध्ययन; एमआरटी जकार्ता गाइड)।

ऐतिहासिक पृष्ठभूमि

उत्पत्ति और निर्माण

लेबाक बुलुस क्षेत्र, मूल रूप से ताजे पानी के कछुओं की प्रचुरता के कारण नामित एक उपजाऊ निचला इलाका, औपनिवेशिक काल के दौरान बतवी समुदायों और कृषि गतिविधियों का समर्थन करता था। स्वतंत्रता-पश्चात युग में बुनियादी ढांचे की प्रगति, जिसमें लेबाक बुलुस बस टर्मिनल की स्थापना भी शामिल है, ने 1987 में स्टेडियम के निर्माण का मंच तैयार किया। लगभग 12,000–25,000 की बैठने की क्षमता के साथ एक बहुउद्देशीय स्थल के रूप में डिजाइन किया गया, लेबाक बुलुस स्टेडियम जल्दी ही पेलिटा जया और बाद में पर्सिजा जकार्ता जैसे क्लबों के लिए घरेलू मैदान बन गया (टेम्पो; जकार्ता एमआरटी आधिकारिक वेबसाइट)।

पिच के करीब स्थित और एथलेटिक्स ट्रैक के बिना स्टेडियम के स्टैंड ने एक तीव्र और अविस्मरणीय मैच वातावरण बनाया।

फुटबॉल दिग्गज और प्रतिष्ठित मैच

लेबाक बुलुस पर्सिजा जकार्ता के 2001 में चैंपियनशिप रन सहित ऐतिहासिक फुटबॉल आयोजनों का स्थल था, और पर्सिब बांडुंग जैसे क्लबों के साथ भयंकर प्रतिद्वंद्विता का। यह 1997 में स्टेडियम में स्थापित, पर्सिजा के जोशीले प्रशंसक, द जकमैनिया का जन्मस्थान भी था। स्टेडियम ने एएफसी यू-17 चैम्पियनशिप क्वालीफायर और 2011 एसईए गेम्स के दौरान पुरुष फुटबॉल कार्यक्रमों जैसी अंतर्राष्ट्रीय प्रतियोगिताओं की मेजबानी की।

फुटबॉल से परे, लेबाक बुलुस एक लोकप्रिय संगीत समारोह स्थल था, जिसने मेटालिका और सेपुल्टुरा जैसे वैश्विक कृतियों के साथ-साथ इवान फाल्स जैसे इंडोनेशियाई आइकनों का स्वागत किया, जिससे जकार्ता की सांस्कृतिक स्मृति में इसका स्थान मजबूत हुआ (द नुसंतारा बुलेटिन; जकार्ता पोस्ट)।

सांस्कृतिक और सामाजिक महत्व

द जकमैनिया और सामुदायिक भावना

स्टेडियम के माहौल को द जकमैनिया द्वारा संचालित किया गया था, जिनके जयकारे और रीति-रिवाजों ने पहचान और अपनेपन की एक मजबूत भावना को बढ़ावा दिया। लेबाक बुलुस सिर्फ एक स्थल से कहीं अधिक था—यह सामुदायिक सभा, स्थानीय व्यवसायों और नागरिक गौरव का एक स्रोत था।

राजनीतिक और शहरी पहचान

लेबाक बुलुस के विध्वंस जकार्ता के आधुनिकीकरण की चुनौतियों का प्रतीक बन गया। पर्सिजा जकार्ता के लिए एक समर्पित घरेलू मैदान की अनुपस्थिति ने राजनीतिक प्रवचन को प्रभावित किया, जो नए जकार्ता अंतर्राष्ट्रीय स्टेडियम (जेआईएस) के वादों और अंतिम निर्माण में परिणत हुआ (एकेडेमिया.एडू व्यवहार्यता अध्ययन)।

विध्वंस और शहरी परिवर्तन

औचित्य और प्रक्रिया

जकार्ता में कुशल, टिकाऊ परिवहन की आवश्यकता ने शहर के योजनाकारों को एमआरटी के मुख्य डिपो के लिए लेबाक बुलुस साइट का चयन करने के लिए प्रेरित किया (बेरिटा जकार्ता)। विध्वंस 2014 में शुरू हुआ, जिसकी निगरानी राज्यपाल बसुकी तजाहजा पुर्नोमो ने की, और 2016 तक पूरा हो गया। इस प्रक्रिया ने शहरीवादियों और फुटबॉल प्रशंसकों के बीच बहस छेड़ दी, जिन्होंने एक प्रिय मील के पत्थर के नुकसान का शोक मनाया, लेकिन बेहतर सार्वजनिक पारगमन की आवश्यकता को पहचाना (टेम्पो; जकार्ता पोस्ट)।

नया शहरी कार्य

आज, पूर्व स्टेडियम जकार्ता एमआरटी के मुख्य डिपो के रूप में कार्य करता है, जो शहर की टिकाऊ गतिशीलता और शहरी नवीकरण की ओर बदलाव का प्रतीक है (एमआरटी जकार्ता गाइड)।

Officially opened in 1987, the stadium played host to legendary football matches, iconic concerts, and community gatherings, deeply influencing the city’s social and cultural fabric. Its demolition between 2014 and 2016 marked a significant shift in Jakarta’s urban development, making way for the Jakarta Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) depot and station—a testament to the city’s commitment to modern, sustainable infrastructure (Tempo; Jakarta MRT Official Website).\n\nAlthough the stadium no longer stands, its spirit endures in the memories of football fans, especially The Jakmania, and the ongoing urban transformation of Jakarta. Today, the site is accessible via the Lebak Bulus Grab MRT Station, providing a tangible link between Jakarta’s storied past and its dynamic future (Academia.edu Feasibility Study; MRT Jakarta Guide).\n\n---\n\n## Table of Contents\n\n- Historical Background\n- Football Legends and Iconic Matches\n- Cultural and Social Significance\n- Demolition and Urban Transformation\n- Visiting Lebak Bulus Today\n- Jakarta International Stadium and Modern Football\n- Visitor Information\n- Nearby Attractions and Travel Tips\n- Visuals and Media\n- Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)\n- Conclusion and Call to Action\n- References and Further Reading\n\n---\n\n## Historical Background\n\n### Origins and Construction\n\nThe Lebak Bulus area, originally a fertile lowland named for its abundance of freshwater turtles, supported Betawi communities and agricultural activities throughout colonial times. Infrastructure advancements in the post-independence era, including the establishment of Lebak Bulus Bus Terminal, set the stage for the stadium’s construction in 1987. Designed as a multi-purpose venue with a seating capacity of approximately 12,000–25,000, Lebak Bulus Stadium quickly became the home ground for clubs like Pelita Jaya and, later, Persija Jakarta (Tempo; Jakarta MRT Official Website).\n\nThe stadium’s stands, located close to the pitch and without an athletics track, created an intense and unforgettable match atmosphere.\n\n---\n\n## Football Legends and Iconic Matches\n\nLebak Bulus was the site of historic football events, including Persija Jakarta’s championship run in 2001 and fierce rivalries with clubs like Persib Bandung. It was also the birthplace of The Jakmania, Persija’s passionate fanbase, founded at the stadium in 1997. The stadium hosted international competitions, such as the AFC U-17 Championship qualifiers and men’s football events during the 2011 SEA Games.\n\nBeyond football, Lebak Bulus was a popular concert venue, welcoming global acts like Metallica and Sepultura, as well as Indonesian icons like Iwan Fals, cementing its place in Jakarta’s cultural memory (The Nusantara Bulletin; The Jakarta Post).\n\n---\n\n## Cultural and Social Significance\n\n### The Jakmania and Community Spirit\n\nThe stadium’s atmosphere was powered by The Jakmania, whose chants and rituals fostered a strong sense of identity and belonging. Lebak Bulus was more than a venue—it was a hub for community gathering, local businesses, and a source of civic pride.\n\n### Political and Urban Identity\n\nThe demolition of Lebak Bulus became emblematic of Jakarta’s modernization challenges. The absence of a dedicated home for Persija Jakarta influenced political discourse, culminating in promises and eventual construction of the new Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) (Academia.edu Feasibility Study).\n\n---\n\n## Demolition and Urban Transformation\n\n### Rationale and Process\n\nThe need for efficient, sustainable transportation in Jakarta led city planners to select the Lebak Bulus site for the MRT’s main depot (Berita Jakarta). Demolition began in 2014, overseen by Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, and concluded by 2016. The process sparked debate among urbanists and football fans, who mourned the loss of a beloved landmark but recognized the necessity of improved public transit (Tempo; The Jakarta Post).\n\n### New Urban Function\n\nToday, the former stadium functions as the main depot for the Jakarta MRT, a symbol of the city’s shift toward sustainable mobility and urban renewal (Jakarta MRT Guide).\n\n---\n\n## Visiting Lebak Bulus Today\n\n### The Lebak Bulus Grab MRT Station\n\nThe stadium’s site is now home to the Lebak Bulus Grab MRT Station, a modern gateway to South Jakarta.

JIS hosts domestic and international matches, concerts, and cultural events.\n\n- Visiting JIS: Tickets for matches and events are available online or at the venue.

Although the stadium no longer exists, replaced by the Lebak Bulus MRT Station and depot, its rich history and legacy continue to resonate with locals and football fans alike. This article explores the origins, cultural significance, and what visitors can expect today when visiting the site of the former stadium, alongside practical information and frequently asked questions.\n\n### Historical Background\n#### Origins and Early Development\nLebak Bulus, located in South Jakarta, originally referred to a lowland or valley area abundant with freshwater turtles (Amdya cartilaginea), as derived from the Betawi language. The region was historically fertile, supporting Betawi communities through agriculture and wetlands. During the Dutch colonial era, Lebak Bulus became a critical food production and distribution hub for Batavia (now Jakarta), with infrastructure like Jalan Raya Fatmawati enhancing connectivity. Post-independence, the area transformed into a bustling suburban center, culminating in the establishment of the Lebak Bulus Bus Terminal in the 1980s.\n\n#### Construction and Features of Lebak Bulus Stadium\nBuilt in 1987, Lebak Bulus Stadium was a modern multi-purpose venue primarily designed for football. It seated approximately 12,000 spectators, with the capacity swelling to 15,000–25,000 during major matches. Its unique design featured stands close to the pitch and lacked an athletics track, creating an intense atmosphere that became legendary in Indonesian football circles. The stadium was centrally located in a fast-developing part of Jakarta, making it accessible to diverse audiences.\n\n### Home to Football Legends and Iconic Matches\nInitially home to Pelita Jaya football club, the stadium later became synonymous with Persija Jakarta from 2000 onwards. Persija’s passionate supporters, The Jakmania, founded at Lebak Bulus in 1997, turned the stadium into a fortress through their fervent support. Memorable moments include Persija’s 2001 Liga Indonesia championship and the intense rivalries that sometimes led to dramatic incidents, such as the 2005 match abandonment against Persib Bandung due to overcrowding and safety concerns.\n\n### International Events and Cultural Significance\nLebak Bulus Stadium also hosted international events, including the AFC U-17 Championship 2008 Qualification Group F matches and the 2011 Southeast Asian (SEA) Games men’s football tournament. Beyond sports, it was a venue for major concerts, notably Metallica in 1993, Brazilian metal band Sepultura in 1992, and Indonesian legend Iwan Fals in 1993, cementing its cultural importance in Jakarta’s collective memory.\n\n### Decline, Demolition, and What Replaced the Stadium\nBy the late 2000s, the stadium’s capacity was insufficient for growing crowds. In 2007, Persija played its last match at Lebak Bulus before moving to the larger Gelora Bung Karno Stadium. In 2011, the Jakarta provincial government announced plans to develop the city’s first Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system, selecting the stadium site for the main depot and maintenance facility to address Jakarta’s traffic woes.

This article explores the cultural and social significance of Lebak Bulus Stadium, provides practical visitor information about the site and its modern successor, Jakarta International Stadium, and offers tips for football fans and tourists interested in Jakarta’s vibrant sporting scene.\n\n### Historical Context and Urban Transformation\n\nConstructed in the 1980s, Lebak Bulus Stadium served as the home ground for Persija Jakarta, one of Indonesia’s most storied football clubs, and was a central hub for its passionate supporters, The Jakmania.

The stadium also featured the capital’s best squash court, making it a beloved site for various sports and community gatherings (The Jakarta Post).\n\n## Rationale Behind Demolition\nThe demolition of Lebak Bulus Stadium was a strategic response to Jakarta’s growing need for modern mass transit. The stadium’s location was identified as the optimal site for the main train maintenance depot of the Jakarta MRT system, essential for the operation and sustainability of the city’s first rail-based mass transit system (Tempo; Berita Jakarta). Planning began in 2011 but was delayed until a suitable replacement venue could be proposed.

It was conducted in phases to minimize disruption to construction activities (Tempo; The Jakarta Post). The process drew mixed reactions: urban planners emphasized the MRT’s importance, while fans and local communities mourned the loss of an iconic sports venue.\n\n## Urban Transformation: From Stadium to MRT Depot\nThe former stadium site now functions as the main depot for the Jakarta MRT, which commenced operations in 2019. This conversion symbolizes Jakarta’s shift towards prioritizing public transportation to alleviate chronic traffic congestion and improve mobility for millions (Tempo; Berita Jakarta).\n\n## Social and Cultural Impact\nThe demolition deeply affected Jakarta’s sporting and cultural communities. Many Jakmania supporters and squash athletes lamented the loss, especially as there was no formal farewell event (The Jakarta Post). This event sparked discussions on balancing infrastructural development with preserving community spaces and heritage.\n\n## Replacement and Future Sports Infrastructure\nTo address concerns, the Jakarta administration promised a new stadium at BMW Park in North Jakarta, designed to meet international standards.

The name “Lebak Bulus” itself is derived from the local topography and fauna: “lebak” meaning valley or lowland, and “bulus” referring to a type of freshwater turtle once common in the area. Historically, this region was characterized by swampy valleys and wetlands, supporting a rural lifestyle and agricultural activities (Indonesiana).\n\n### Colonial Era and Modernization\n\nDuring the Dutch colonial period, Lebak Bulus became increasingly integrated into the economic life of Batavia (now Jakarta). The fertile land was used for plantations, particularly for crops such as coffee and rubber, which were vital to the colonial economy. Infrastructure improvements, including the construction of major roads like Jalan Raya Fatmawati, facilitated the transport of agricultural products to the city. These developments marked the beginning of Lebak Bulus’s transformation from a rural outpost to a suburban extension of Jakarta (Indonesiana).\n\n### Post-Independence Transformation\n\nFollowing Indonesian independence in 1945, Lebak Bulus continued to evolve. The 1970s and 1980s saw the area develop into a desirable residential suburb for Jakarta’s growing middle class. The construction of the Lebak Bulus Bus Terminal further cemented its status as a key transportation node, connecting Jakarta with other cities and provinces. This period also saw the emergence of commercial and service sectors, making Lebak Bulus a vibrant urban community (Indonesiana).\n\n---\n\n## Lebak Bulus Stadium: Construction and Features\n\n### Stadium Specifications\n\nLebak Bulus Stadium was constructed in 1987, occupying a strategic location in South Jakarta. The stadium had a seating capacity of approximately 12,000, with the ability to accommodate up to 15,000–25,000 spectators for larger events (Wikipedia; Touristlink). The facility was designed as a multi-purpose venue, primarily hosting football matches but also serving as a site for athletics, concerts, and community events.\n\n### Role in Jakarta’s Sports Scene\n\nThe stadium quickly became a focal point for Jakarta’s sports culture. It served as the home ground for Persija Jakarta, the city’s most prominent football club, and was the birthplace of the club’s passionate supporter group, The Jakmania, in 1997 (Kompas). Lebak Bulus hosted several significant sporting events, including:\n\n- AFC U-17 Championship 2008 Qualification Group F Matches\n- Football Men’s Tournament at the 2011 Southeast Asian (SEA) Games\n\nThese events brought international attention to the stadium and contributed to Jakarta’s reputation as a center for sports in Indonesia (Wikipedia).\n\n---\n\n## Cultural and Social Significance\n\n### Football and Persija Jakarta\n\nFor many Jakartans, Lebak Bulus Stadium was synonymous with football. As the home of Persija Jakarta, the stadium witnessed countless memorable matches, fierce rivalries, and the rise of local football legends. The formation of The Jakmania supporter group at Lebak Bulus in 1997 marked a new era of organized fan culture in Indonesian football, characterized by vibrant displays, chants, and unwavering loyalty (Kompas).\n\n### Music and Major Events\n\nBeyond sports, Lebak Bulus Stadium was a major venue for music and cultural events. Notably, it hosted international acts such as Metallica (1993) and Sepultura (1992), drawing massive crowds from across Indonesia (VOI; Wikipedia). The Metallica concert, in particular, is remembered for both its scale and the subsequent unrest, reflecting the stadium’s role as a gathering place for youth and subcultures.\n\n### Community and Youth Engagement\n\nFor local residents, especially in the late 1980s and 1990s, the stadium was more than just a venue—it was a social hub. Young people from South Jakarta and beyond would gather at Lebak Bulus to play football, swim, or simply socialize. The stadium’s open spaces and facilities made it a favorite spot for recreation and community events (Kompas).\n\n---\n\n## Demolition and Urban Transformation\n\n### Transition to MRT Depot\n\nIn 2013, after nearly three decades of service, Lebak Bulus Stadium was demolished to make way for the Jakarta Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) project. The site was repurposed as the main depot and maintenance facility for the MRT, marking a significant shift in the area’s function from sports and culture to transportation infrastructure (Kompas; Indonesiana).\n\nThe MRT Lebak Bulus Grab Station, now a major terminal on the North-South MRT line, has transformed the area into a hub of connectivity, linking South Jakarta with the city center and other key districts. The depot itself is a state-of-the-art facility, supporting daily operations and maintenance of Jakarta’s modern rail system (Kompas).\n\n### Impact on Local Community\n\nThe demolition of the stadium was met with mixed emotions. While many recognized the necessity of modernizing Jakarta’s transportation infrastructure, others mourned the loss of a beloved landmark. The transformation of Lebak Bulus reflects broader trends in Jakarta’s urban development, where historical sites are often repurposed to meet the demands of a rapidly growing metropolis (Indonesiana).\n\n---\n\n## Visiting the Site Today\n\n### Access and Transportation\n\nAlthough the original Lebak Bulus Stadium no longer exists, the site remains highly accessible and relevant for visitors interested in Jakarta’s urban history and infrastructure.\n\n- By MRT: The Lebak Bulus Grab Station is the southern terminus of the Jakarta MRT North-South Line.
