For this, the work was commissioned to Kothari Associates Pvt. Ltd. one of the reputed Consultant Company of India situated in Delhi. The site enjoys good views of the surrounding area. Jagannath Temple, Hatia dam and world famous HEC (Heavy Engineering Corporation) Plant is clearly observed from the stadium site. The stadium has been constructed in such a manner that shadow doesn’t fall on any of the nine pitches before 4.45 p.m, even on the shortest day of the year. There is another ground in the complex which has five main pitches and eight practice pitches. The stadium has a seating capacity of around 35,000 and 76 corporate boxes. The spectators can also enjoy view from two nearby hills on the East and West sides. The two pavilions, North and South, have five levels each which include VVIP areas, members' enclosure, donors' enclosure, president's box, the BCCI box and two large dressing rooms with separate dining space for players. Membrane roofs provide shade from the sun, and together with the elegant structure consisting of steel braces, contribute to the memorable appearance of the stadium. The Stadium also features an Indoor Cricket center, with residential complex where players can stay for training.

35' date='000 hmm. Itna paisa lagaya on stadium and just 35,000. Atleast 80,000 toh hoti. Keeping in mind that it won't be used much for test cricket and only 2020 and odi's and it usually bring bigger crowd than test.[/quote'] For aesthetics purpose they have reserved 20% area in shape of grass banks like in South Africa and New Zealand. It look's better than ugly concrete jungle's.

Á¢mazing stadium in Ranchi gets a nine on ten from Dhoni

The following are excerpts Q You made a surprise visit to the stadium late on Wednesday... A I did come, with (wife) Sakshi and Suresh (Raina)... Sadly, the floodlights had been switched off just a few minutes earlier. So, was that your first look in its completed form? Actually, the first look was when we were about to land on Wednesday... Looked stunning. What are your impressions now? I find it amazing... ItÃÔ particularly nice that the JSCA now has a top-class facility of its own... WeÃ×e played at the Keenan (in Jamshedpur) before, but itÃÔ a matter of pride that Ranchi has its own stadium... Hopefully, some from the region will start their (India) careers here. What stands out? Quite a few things... I like the height at which the dressing rooms are situated... I like the fact that the gym is next to the dressing rooms... Those who donÃÕ play should be at the gym or at the nets. For me, the location of the gym is important... The walk from the dressing room balcony to the ground is short... Then, thereÃÔ no seating area beneath both dressing rooms, which means players will have privacy... IÃ×e liked the slope, somewhat like the Eden, once youÃÓe on the turf... Talking of the stands, the canopies look lovely... ThereÃÔ much to appreciate and the president (Choudhary) has overcome odds. ItÃÔ a feel-good stadium. A ÁÔkywalk is planned for direct access to the nets from the dressing room area... Really? ThatÃÔ great. So, how many marks would you give the stadium? Very high marks... LetÃÔ say 9 out of 10... I havenÃÕ given a perfect 10 because even the best can be improved... The good players can become even better, so also stadiums and facilities. Did you expect such a massive crowd to greet you and your teammates on Wednesday evening? IÃÅ expected a crowd at the airport, but I certainly didnÃÕ expect thousands to line the roads three-quarters of the way into the city. To see that was humbling. Is there a message for Ranchiites? Be proud of what youÃ×e now got. YouÃ×e lost weight... ThatÃÔ because of playing continuously. And IÃ×e been doing so for quite some time. The final one... Do you actually get to drive in and around Ranchi at the speed youÃÅ like to? (Laughs) IÃÎ a safe driver! Postscript: Ũood, good, is how senior pros Yuvraj Singh and Gautam Gambhir described the dinner hosted for the team by Dhoni. Except for one or two, only members of his immediate family were present at home then.
