World's Largest Cricket Stadium to be built in Ahmedabad!

[Yoda-esque]

Gujarat and MH are prosperous states with less corruption than most others, esp Gujarat.

No reason why they shouldn't create work class facilities and infrastructure.

L&T building it, so at least quality won't be comprised,

reading from news articles, looks like plenty of other facilities incl indoor pitches, full size outdoor fields, Olympic size swimming pool, connection with new metro line and direct road to riverfront

 

Though 100k is overkill

Stadiums are for long terms uses. Actually the most important thing is will it be just be cricket exclusive?

 

they should plan and leave some space/potential for other events wheater its olympics, asian games, or different sports

 

makes sense if that is the case

Those pitches already exist , they are called Motera B, C. And D which are not even allowed for practise even Ranji Trophy players .

An indoor academy also exists

Hope that they make a large out field. We have enough postage-stamp size grounds already.

This won't just be a cricket stadium. I'm sure concerts & other events will also happen here.

Should get it ready by the time the Bullet train starts, should offer package tours of bullet train, statue and cricket matches - Filling up 100k is piece of cake - great minds are always ahead of times. Indians with inferiority complex don't get it.

I  think people are overlooking the fact that Gujarat ranji team won their first Ranji title in 2016-2017. Clearly even somebody is looking at the cricketing aspects on the field. I have noticed more and more good cricketers linked to Guj ranji teams making the cut. Pappu Patel, Bumrah, Pandya Pujara Jadeja (Saurashtra, Baroda and Gujarat) 

 

India should be thankful as Bumrah from what I know is born and raised in A'bad and plays for the Gujarat ranji team. If this sports complex spread over 63 acres produces multiple such talents I think its time to say thankyou to Mr Shah and Modi.
