Talk:Brabourne Stadium

Main Picture
There are decent pictures in the public domain providing an aerial view of the stadium. Such a picture should be used as the main picture for this article.

Head Office
... has the offices of the BCCI, the head organisation of Indian cricket

Doesn't Brabourne house THE headquarters of the BCCI ? If yes, this point should be given more stress. Tintin 16:38, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Capacity of the stadium
Cricinfo and some other online sources put the capacity of the Brabourne Stadium as 20,000, but according to the sources 1 & 3 in the references listed in the article it was built to accomodate 35,000 people. This is another source which puts it as 35,000 while an article about a Rolling stones concert has it as 25,000. We need to find the correct figure. Tintin (talk) 06:19, 4 April 2006 (UTC)


 * I think some Wikipedian in Mumbai should contact the ground authorities & get the exact figure.

Thanks

 * Nichalp mentioned here that 20,000 is the more likely figure, but if we get it confirmed it would be great. Tintin (talk) 07:00, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Hmmm
(In 1937) The stadium was named after Brabourne at the suggestion of the Maharaja of Patiala.

Then what was the immortality that De Mello offered Lord Brabourne ? Tintin 13:52, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

claim that it was India's first sporting avenue
The article says Brabourne Stadium was built on 90,000 square yards of reclaimed land[6] along Marine Drive[7] near Churchgate railway station in South Mumbai[8] and was India's first permanent sporting venue.[9][10] do no sound to be true or factual as other cricket grounds for example Eden Gardens at Kolkata existed since 1864.
