Yeshwant Stadium
The only stadium City has, for sports other than cricket. Unfortunately, the condition of stadium, is nowhere compared to world standards.
A huge rework is needed to bring charm back to the stadium.
Meanwhile, it still remains one of the best place for Goods industry which has flurished in the shops outside the stadium.

  • There are many good shops at Yashwant Stadium.
  • I recently visited the stadium and the condition is pathetic. Authorities need to do something to make this wonderful property useable. It has such a good sitting capacity, but the play area is not at all maintained.
  • I beg to differ - not with the bit about the stadium being not maintained well - but with the fact that there is a Huge Stadium for other sports ready for use in Mankapur. It is the corrupt authorities that are preventing any progress to be made - unless there is some personel gain in it for themselves. My son aged 9 used to go for a boxing class at Yashwant Stadium - but then one day the boxing association was asked to stop havin their class there - NO EXPLINATION GIVEN. Grounds like Kasturchand park & of late even Bishop Cotton are being (for lack of a better word) Raped for gain of a few corrupt individuals - with selfish interests. If some NGO wishes to help to clean up these facilities - they are quietly shown the door. Good sports grounds are being misused for weddings & holding Expos and such...have you seen the Kasturchand park after such an expo has finished...it's left in a shambles - with garbage & uncleaned mess. Who would want to excercise in garbage...it is a sad state of affairs...left in the hands of a powerful few - who only want to fill their pockets by such events which bring in the big money.
