Bangalore needs a new stadium

[Ghost Buster]

What about wankhede,ferozshah kotla,even eden is not that big. We need to produce reasonable bowling pitches and lush green outfields to even out contests.

Wakhede is probably the same size as Chinnaswammy and Kotla. All these three stadiums needs to keep in mind the size of the boundaries and produce conservative pitches. Which is why as a mumbai they need to keep tests at Wankhede/Brabourne and the ODIs at DY patil. Then they can potentially make a flattish wicket.

I don't know if the ground is smaller than any other grounds. Does anyone have any dimensions of Chinnaswamy and other grounds around the world. What is the average size of a Test ground around the world? What is it in each country? How does Bangalore compare to them? Please post data instead of opinions

Wankhede has a very good pitch.

I think this is the problem facing many cities. Apart from Eden Gardens, a lot of other cities like Pune have their stadium at the outskirts of the city where they can build big stadiums. Mumbai faces same issues, host match at Wankhede/Brabourne which their super transport links or across the creek in Nerul at the DY Patil which seats 20,000 more but is a ***** to get to with public transport. I personally dont agree that in bangalore the attendance for limited overs India games will suffer. Might be a case for IPL games or even test matches. I doubt if they can do much to expand. If anything full renovation is going to reduce capacity. A solution might be to build a stadium near a metro station in Bangalore on the outskirts. That way you have access to public transport yet you can have a big stadium

There is this major builder, responsible for the bangalore mysore corridor, who keeps releasing yearly newspaper articles for the past couple of years about how he will build a stadium with a retractable roof somewhere along the corridor. He is most probably talking bs but there was an article a few months back on how he was seeking an approval for the same.

Not really - BEST go directly to the stadium. You can otherwise take a train and an auto is 10 minutes from Sanpada or 15 minutes from Nerul station.

the ground size is small but even nzl and england have such small ground.the problem is the pitch,the curator has to leave considerable amount of grass so that the pacers have a say in the game..it`ll be much good for the game

Do we have data to make a proper comparison?
