Construction of world’s biggest cricket stadium in Gujarat starts - chairman - 01-20-2017
AHMEDABAD: India has started building the world’s biggest cricket stadium that will accommodate 110,000 spectators and cost around $100 million.
Since the capacity of Kolkata’s Eden Gardens was reduced as part of a major rebuilding project, Melbourne Cricket Ground has held the title of the sport’s largest stadium with seating for around 100,000.
But speaking at a ground-breaking ceremony on Monday in western Gujarat state, officials said a new stadium in the city of Ahmedabad would be able to welcome 110,000 people.
Gujarat Cricket Association vice-president Parimal Nathwani put the overall cost of the project at seven billion rupees, saying the venue would house other facilities.
“The stadium will have 76 corporate boxes, four dressing rooms, a clubhouse and an Olympic-size swimming pool,†Nathwani was quoted as saying by PTI.
The complex, to be built over the next two years, will also have three practice grounds and an indoor cricket academy.
It is on the site of the recently demolished Sardar Patel Gujarat Stadium, which could hold around 50,000 spectators.

Quote:Ahmedabad also known as Amdavad Gujarati pronunciation: [ˈəmdÉ‘ËvÉ‘Ëd]) is the largest city and former capital of Gujarat, which is a state in India.
It is the administrative headquarters of the Ahmedabad district and the seat of the Gujarat High Court. With a population of more than 6.3 million and an extended population of 7.8 million, it is the sixth largest city and seventh largest metropolitan area of India. Ahmedabad is located on the banks of the Sabarmati River, 30 km (19 mi) from the state capital Gandhinagar, which is its twin city.
Ahmedabad has emerged as an important economic and industrial hub in India. It is the second largest producer of cotton in India, and its stock exchange is the country's second oldest. Cricket is a popular sport in Ahmedabad, which houses the 54,000-seat Sardar Patel Stadium. The effects of liberalisation of the Indian economy have energised the city's economy towards tertiary sector activities like commerce, communication and construction. Ahmedabad's increasing population has resulted in an increase in the construction and housing industries resulting in recent development of skyscrapers.
In 2010, it was ranked third in Forbes's list of fastest growing cities of the decade.In 2012, The Times of India chose Ahmedabad as the best city to live in in India.As of 2014, Ahmedabad's estimated gross domestic product was $119 billion
