In April 2005, CSKA Sofia, who used the facility, presented a plan for the modernization of the Bulgarian Army Stadium, Sports Complex Red Flag and Pancharevo Sports Complex. The plan envisages the complete demolition of the current stadium and the creation of a new modern stadium with a capacity of 30,000 worth around 50 million euros. It has to be built for 4 years. The project never started because of the financial problems of the former owners. Before on the base there was a shooting complex, but  today it is used only for football.
