Seating, design and cricket facilities

The current venue profile lists 38,000 capacity, while a detailed 2024 stadium guide described approximately 33,000 seats. PitchVaani keeps both figures visible because they came from different published venue descriptions.

Open-air three-tier seating

The seating bowl is arranged across three tiers below angular canopy roofs, rather than as a fully enclosed roof.

49 corporate boxes

The stadium guide and later reporting identify 49 corporate boxes within the modern match-day infrastructure.

Drainage-led field design

A sand-based field and herringbone drainage system are intended to improve water removal after rain.

Player facilities

Reported facilities include international-grade dressing rooms, practice areas, a gym and recovery spaces.

Capacity, seating access and spectator zones can change by event configuration. Confirm the current ticket map rather than relying only on a general stadium figure.

Review

PitchVaani review

A modern match venue with strong facilities

The stadium stands out for its spacious Mullanpur site, modern player areas, practice infrastructure and rapid progression from domestic cricket to IPL and international matches.

What works well

Seven main-square pitches, six floodlight towers, a sand-based outfield and reported recovery facilities support multi-format match use.

Spectator setting

The open-air three-tier bowl offers a close view of the field, while canopy coverage and entry arrangements can vary by stand and event.

Plan before visiting

The venue sits outside central Chandigarh. Confirm the ticketed gate, parking zone, access time and return route before leaving.

Editorial verdict

A capable modern cricket ground whose facilities are a clear strength; the main visitor consideration is event-specific access rather than the venue itself.
