Beautiful Stadium ️️️ Originally Lahore Stadium, the ground was renamed in 1974 in honour of the former Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi following a speech he gave at the 2nd Organisation of the Islamic Conference meeting in Lahore in favour of Pakistan's right to pursue nuclear weapons. The stadium houses the headquarters of the Pakistan Cricket Board. In 1995–96, the Gaddafi Stadium was renovated by architect Nayyar Ali Dada - who is qualified from National College of Arts Lahore - for the 1996 Cricket World Cup. Dada's redesign was done in the Mughal style, with red, hand-laid brickwork and arches. Dada also had plastic seating installed in place of the existing concrete benches. The lower portion under the stands was enclosed and converted to shops for boutiques and offices. Gaddafi Stadium was the first in Pakistan to be equipped with modern floodlights having their own standby power generators.

One of the best cricket stadium & ground across Pakistan. Added advantage is the kind of food street developed around it. Cricket ground is also one of the biggest in pakistan. It also caters to PCB offices within the stadium.

Well I’m from Lahore and I’ve visited this stadium a lot of times. I want denote this stadium is one of the best stadiums in Pakistan. PCB has arranged many series and PSL Matches here. Here, seats are available In very good condition. One problem that I found is the capacity of spectators. Lahore is having a population of almost 1.2 Million and the capacity of this stadium is 27k, which I think is not fair with the people, PCB must think of increasing the capacity here.

So this stadium is one of the best and big international stadiums in Pakistan. PCB has arranged many series and PSL Matches here. Here, seats are available In very good condition. One problem that I found is the capacity of spectators. Lahore is having a population of almost 1.2 Million and the capacity of this stadium is 27k, which I think is not fair with the people, PCB must think of increasing the capacity here. The Gaddafi Cricket Stadium is located in the historical city of Lahore. Designed by the eminent architect Nayyar Ali Dada, Gaddafi Stadium is inspired by Mughal architecture as is evident from the lovely brickwork that gives the stadium a unique look. The stadium is named after Colonel Gaddafi of Libya. Gaddafi Stadium hosted its first test match as early as in 1959, when Pakistan played against the touring Australians. It underwent renovations in order to host the 1996 World Cup final. It is the largest ground in Pakistan. In the new stadium the concrete benches are entirely replaced by plastic cover seats. The stadium holds the capacity of more than 60000 people. The 1996 Cricket World Cup was hosted by the Gaddaffi Stadium which was played between Australia and Sri Lanka. The ground was initially named the Lahore Stadium but was later on renamed to Gaddafi in 1974. The ground has been a good hunting ground for Pakistan and has some memorable milestones to its name. The Gaddafi stadium witnessed the record fifth-wicket stand of 281 between Javed Miandad and Asif Iqbal against New Zealand in 1976. Inzamam's famous triple-ton also came at this very stadium and that too against the Kiwis. But in recent times, the stadium is criticised for having sparse crowds for one-days and Test matches.

It has its own beauty in terms of cricket stadium where everyone enjoys national leagues as well as international matches. Many food restaurants are surrounded the Gaddafi stadium where people go with their families to enjoy and spend quality time with them. Overall experience was good and I go there many times for dinner and watch matches.
