About Captain Roop Singh Stadium
Captain Roop Singh Stadium is a Gwalior cricket venue with a history spanning domestic and international matches. The Gwalior Division Cricket Association (GDCA), an affiliate of the Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association (MPCA), says the stadium hosted 12 One Day International matches between 1988 and 2010.
The ground was initially a hockey venue before being converted for cricket in 1988. India played West Indies there in January of that year, in the stadium’s first ODI. In 1996–97, it hosted the Ranji Trophy final under floodlights. On February 24, 2010, Sachin Tendulkar scored the first double century in men’s ODI cricket at the ground.
Its ends are known as Railway End and Pavilion End. Published capacity figures differ: one source gives 45,000, while a 2003 report described more than 18,000 seats. GDCA describes Gwalior as MPCA’s second venue for international matches and says MPCA is developing an international stadium in the city.
How do you check the event calendar?
Check GDCA and the event organizer’s official channels for a fixture and venue confirmation before planning your visit. GDCA organizes the Madhya Pradesh League for the Scindia Cup, a franchise-based professional T20 league under MPCA’s aegis, but that does not confirm a particular event at this stadium.
The stadium is an event venue, so confirm that it will be open before planning a visit outside match or event times. Check the official site before you go.
Tickets and entry requirements
Ticket prices, purchase arrangements and entry requirements can depend on the event, so confirm them with its organizer before you travel. Check the event’s guidance for ticket instructions, gate entry, security screening and prohibited items.
Use the event’s own guidance to check what you need for entry and when gates open. Don’t assume that ticket availability, permitted items or screening procedures are the same for every fixture.
How do you get to the stadium from the hotel area?
The Bellevue is about 10 minutes on foot or 4 minutes by car from the stadium, and its rooms at The Bellevue offer a place to stay for an event visit.
GDCA gives the stadium’s address as Captain Roopsingh Stadium, Thatipur, Madhya Pradesh, India, 474011. For an event, confirm the best entrance and local access arrangements with the organizer, including any road closures, parking or public-transport guidance.
