Sardar Patel Gujarat Stadium

Sardar Patel Gujarat Stadium was a cricket stadium in Motera, Ahmedabad, India. Because of its location, the stadium was commonly called the Motera Stadium to avoid confusion with another stadium of the same name in the Navrangpura district. The Sardar Patel Stadium was owned by the Gujarat Cricket Association, was the largest in the state of Gujarat, with a capacity of 49,000, and was equipped with floodlights for day-and-night games. It hosted domestic and international cricket in the city until its demolition in 2015, including the 1987, 1996, and 2011 Cricket World Cups. In 2014, it was decided that a new stadium should be built on the same plot. It was a regular venue for Test cricket and One Day Internationals.
