The Eden Gardens is India's biggest cricket stadium, and one of the most famous cricket venues in the world. Established in 1864, Eden Gardens currently holds 90,000 people following renovations, which have reduced the capacity from its previous one of 120,000.[1] Nevertheless, it remains joint 22nd with Wembley Stadium in the list of largest stadiums in the world. It is also the second biggest cricket stadium in the world, behind the Melbourne Cricket Ground. It is also the second largest stadium in India behind the Salt Lake Stadium. The stadium is located in the Dalhousie area of the city, near the State Secretariat and the High Court. The first recorded Test at the venue was held in 1934, and its first ODI in 1987.[1] Sporting floodlights, bowlers deliver from the High Court End or the Pavilion End of a pitch under curator Probir Mukherjee.[1] The ground area of the stadium is also one of the largest in the world.
