FACTS Opened 1945 Capacity 45,000 Known as Modi Stadium Ends Mill Pavilion End, Hostel End Location Kanpur, India Home to Uttar Pradesh Floodlights Yes Curator Shivkumar Venue Description Located on the banks of the river Ganges, Kanpur's Green Park stadium was named after Madam Green, who used to practice horse-riding at the venue in the 1940s. One of the reasons why the venue does not host day-night matches currently is that the shadow of the newly constructed Director Stand covers a large portion of the outfield. Usha Lal, the regional sports officer at the Green Park stadium, had admitted that it was a structural fault and the ground is soon expected to get new floodlights, which will accommodate day-night contests. Green Park is the only international venue in India which is not owned by a state cricket association. How does the pitch play? The square at the Green Park is generally considered as slow and low due to the nature of soil available in this part of the world. Apart from being batsmen-friendly, the pitches here tend to aid the spinners more because of the lack of pace.
