Amazing Place to view THALA DHONI Helicopter shots!!!!The Pros:1. The food is really good2. Atmosphere makes a cricket mad3. Have parking areas4. Well maintained areaThe Cons:1. The crowd management is not good

One of the oldest stadium... Todays top cricketers, middle level cricketers who might have dreamt to play in this ground.. Its such a pride to play here... Nice location, its in the beach side and most visited people like marina beach..

Amazing Stadium !Went for India vs England 2nd Test Match Day 4 !Very electrifying experience!Watched from H stand ! Beautiful View !Can able to see Sea and Trains from there !Food Section needs to be improved !

Great stadium which can be reached through multiple ways. This has all the facilities. Overall a great experience

Extra cleanliness could be maintained considering the covid - especially the toilets. Apart from that no worries

One of the best cricket stadium in india thr stands are very well maintained and rest room are sanitised frequently.

Chennai is one of the most knowledgeable crowds and also one of the most enthusiastic even if it means cheering under the scorching heat and motivating your favorite team. CSKs den and one of the larger stadiums in the country. Attending a cricket match here is a must to understand the charm of this place, as only so much can be done with words.

It was my 5th visit to this stadium and we normally go to watch cricket match. Every one in chennai knows this location and access to it is very easy by all public & private transports.Recently and in fact the stands I J K opened for audience just this year and I got to watch the 1st day of 2nd test between India vs England. The seats are comfortable for long time sitting and u can go around between these 3 stands if u got lower level tickets.Food is over priced. Dominos Pizza we tried was Rs.150 for veg/non-veg. Outside it is 90-100 rupees. No card or any digital payment service is available because the internet wont work in your mobile. No wifi either. Coffee is 20 rupees. Quality of the food is decent and it is purely your luck.Depends on the type of match, u will get 1 time re entry where u can use it to go outside for any work & can come back. I think it is available only in test matches.On 3rd day we got tickets in stand C. The chairs are movable in here which is quite uncomfortable at times. All the chairs are worn out and the stand will cost u 1000-1500 in IPL season. My suggestion keep this stand as last option.Here also u can go around between stands. There is no seat number as such and it is 1st come 1st serve basis.Only in AC boxes you are required to sit by seat number.Try for F, G, H, I, J, K. But upper stands are good in all the areas.There is no parking available for any vehicles and you will be required to park on the opposite lane at walajah road side to the stadium at your own risk. Generally the vehicles will be safe there but you never know. But in my experience I didnt faced any difficulty.At times, the local people will collect some parking charges and you got no option other than paying it.Prohibited items are helmets, backpacks, water bottles, food, any sticks except your walking stick, comb.Toilets are clean and there are people to maintain.

Watched Paytm Ind vs Eng 2nd test here. Wonderful experience in my life. Test match in Chepauk is one of to do thing in my bucket list. The view was awesome. If you want good view take a ticket in G upper, H upper, F upper. After that I,J,K stands good to see the match in midwicket view. The game with full crowd precious to watch. No bags allowed inside the stadium.

Best place in chennai during ipl season and india matches with such awesome and energetic vibes from fans around. Everyone loves cricket and respects the game and players. If you are a cricket fan you should surely watch one match from here, then you will understand the difference

Wonderful experience watching such a memorable match Where India Outplayed England in some fashion.

It was a wonderful experience to see match in stadium. I was in k upper stand beautiful view overall ground can be see in from this stand..

Indias one of best best architectural cricket stadium 🏟️.

Enjoyed my visit to the stadium as the match was very intresting what a century by R Ashwin

Best place to watch cricket matches 😍😍😍Loved this place to the core ❤First time watched the Test match between India and England in the stadium and it has become a memory for my life 🔥Stadium is lit ❣

The stadium is named after the former President of BCCI and Tamil Nadu Cricket Association, MA Chidambaram. It was formerly known as Madras Cricket Club Ground. The ground was established in 1916, making it the oldest venue in India which is in continuous use. The stadium is more commonly known as Chepauk - the locality in which it is situated.Since 2008, the venue is home to Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League. It hosted its first ever international game in 1934, a Test match between India and England, which the visitors won by 202 runs. The stadium has gone through several changes since then. The most notable ones being, the addition of floodlights in 1996 and the reconstruction in 2009 to accommodate more people and give state-of-art facility.The most fascinating thing about the ground is the crowd support. It is common knowledge that the Chepauk crowd is the most unbiased and the most knowledgeable crowd in the country. Saeed Anwar got a standing ovation when he made a record-breaking 194. When Pakistan won the 1999 Test, the team received good appreciation from the crowd. As mark of respect, the Pakistani team also took a lap of honour around the ground.Source - Cricbuzz

Good to see the newely opened seat very comfortable and we can watch match clearly

This was the best stadium with nice maintanance and as now you know that its covid time they are taking so many precautions and safety measures and i can definitely say that you will like the stadium 🏟.

Amazing experience, But beverages price is not acceptable to the common people... Take 5 to 10 rs extra per bottle but not 20 to 30 rs.... Overall we have given 100 for the entry and 200 for the food

Nice view frm chepuk

Loved it... Been there multiple times before ...First time after corona pandemic ..Ind Vrs England... Ashwins Magic

Great stadium and 2nd oldest cricket stadium in india

Beautiful windy international cricket stadium in Chennai near Marina Beach.

Home to the KNOWLEDGEABLE CHENNAI CROWDBut need a drastic improvement in their cleanliness and should at least allow water bottles in the stadiumAnd the stadium should be refurbished

I was at the 5th day finals between eng and india, India won the match and I enjoyed alot

All CSK fans have best and worst memories here. Some years ago three stands (audience viewing place) are not open due to some issues. Now they are opened so more people will enjoy the game. It is the only international cricket stadium in Tamilnadu. Parking also available. One of the best place to enjoy cricket if you visit this place especially for CSK fans. You can visit here by car bike or train. From railway station it will be walkable distance.

Great memories of SRT taking on the legendary spinner Shane Warne... Still you can hear those Sachin... Sachin... Chants... Even in 2021, those days are still fresh and make you feel happy

Witnessed the IND vs ENG 2nd Test Match at Day 1 here after lockdown. Amazing crowd environment to experience with. Vera level match!

One of the best experience ever💯💯

AWESOME🌠 !! It is the home ground of the Tamil Nadu Cricket Team & Chennai Super Kings 💛 .Amazing cricket experience . However Some issues faced during the entry to stadium 🏟 due to crowd which has to be managed in a better way . Overall the stadium 🏟 is maintained well.💛

Famous IPL this Stadium... Mostly fans of Csk Thala Dhoni 💛

Nice play ground..very neet and clean..

Iconic ground with good viewing area . Parking is also available

Good place to chill with cricketNeed some drinking water facilities

Had a wonderful experience watching my favourite team CSK here. Youll find with the serene vibe it holds when theres no match scheduled in the coming weeks.

Very famous International cricket club and play ground

Easily accessible roads and seperate entry gates for the stands. One the best stadiums in India can hold 50000 fans at a time.

The best. Anbuden Chepauk!

Superb Stadium .....here all national and international matches are played ....and most important point isIPL and it is the home town for CSK......DHONI BHAIMAHI marega

Well maintained place. Visited to watch the qualifier match between CSK AND MI. they are not allowing bags, helmet, water bottle, pocket perfume and other for security reasons. They are maintaining the place clean. Better view for match. Lower stands are not good to watch match, because of the barrier gate height.

Really enjoyed match in stadium

A great and historical stadium which hosted many great test matches., This is the home ground of Chennai Super Kings, an ISL franchise.,

Being a cricket lover visited the stadium though the visit was from outside but I loved the area and view of stadium..One day for sure will go to watch a cricket 🏏 match there..🤩🏏👌🏻🙂MA Chidambaram Stadium is a cricket stadium in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.

This is my first stadium visit and it was more lit ,the view and maintenance were good and the standard of the stadium was not up to the level compared to other stadiums in India.

I Love TNCA chepauk Ground 💛

Very good experience. Enjoyed moment.

One of the best ground at Chennai in South Indian state Tamil Nadu of India. The cricketing facilities are world class level at chepauk stadium Chennai.If you are a Chennai super Kings fan chepauk stadium should be in your visiting list if you are visiting Chennai first timesuperb place for cricket lovers .🏏🏟️

One of the best stadium in India,very beautiful.Enjoyed a lot the IPL matches and international matches.till now they have problems for the land which 25% of the stadium blocked, otherwise it looks so beautiful..Good facilities and well maintained.

I had a great experience watching INDIA vs West Indies 3rd T20... That was my first Time watching international match.. Enjoyed lot.!

Hats off to the designer for designing this wonderful Stadium with gaps in between the stands to keep the seabreez flowing through the stadium there by making the stadium pleasant for the spectators and preventing from Chennai heat.

Premiere sporting venue in the city recently facing lot of issues with illegal construction on strands otherwise best place and atmosphere to enjoy cricket!

I was watched TNPL match at Chepauk stadium.It was an awesome moment. A wonderful experience to watch matches with big crowd.Stadium is placed at near to the Marina beach

This is my first time experience yet this was marvelous. Had a wonderful atmosphere. Everything is good from hospitality to the viewing experience. Will come back here if MS plays the next IPL. 😍😍

Fans Entrance way is very smaller.But inside there is a huge space.Well organised environment and services.All classes of people can come watch the match of our favourite teams.

Pros 👍Awesome place to cheer ur team.Upper tiers have perfect view.Cons 👎No proper parking available.Expensive ticket rates.Three empty stands.

Location from outside is quite good. Situated in a good location inside the Chennai city. The long sea Beach is nearby and the roads are spacious. Hope to go inside the stadium one day and watch cricket match.

One of the best cricket grounds in South India. Sad part is three stands are empty because of the case that is going on. Enjoyed the IPL match.

One of the best cricket stadium to watch cricket. The seats are well numbered and organised. Ample food variety but little expensive. Vendors are courteous as well. Volunteers are friendly and always helpful. Wifi assistance available. Depends on the match.Wheel chair assistance is also available.Public drinking water taps could have been better. Few water drinking places not working.

Expect nothing great as far as infrastructure is concerned. If you do, you are going to end up solely disappointed. The only novelty about this place would be the energised environment that you wont be able to experience anywhere. The feverish excitement combined with the joy of seeing all our favorite players just a few feet away in itself contributes to a fantastic overall experience. One thing that can be improved would be that the ticket sales could be made more transparent. It is nearly impossible to get tickets for any match held at the Chepauk stadium and combined with the fact that 3 huge stands are closed to the public makes matters even worse and encourages a lot of black ticket sales.

The pitch was not maintained to the international standard. T20 will be more interesting when you score more or chase a high target. In this season none of the team has scored a challenging target.About the ground,Watching IPL with the crowd was amazing and of course you cant expect comfort even if you pay 2500 per ticket. The seats are plastic and you cant sit for more than an hour. Beverages and snacks are overpriced and taste is not so good. Need to improve on these areas.Normally the audience wont make this as a issue because the area of interest is on the match than the sitting comfort and other issues. Most of the times you wont get a slot for parking your car. Moreover car will not be allowed in the nearby area.

Awesome....my fav 0lace

I havent been inside but got to see it from outside. It felt awesome to walk by the great chepauk stadium. It also close by to marina beach so you can just have a walk from here further more its said to be one of the best stadium in India. Make sure you visit it and youd be lucky if it was an ipl season. Itd be filled with stars and fans. Its around 3km from egmore station and you can find taxis or local bus too.

The experience was extraordinary and lively,felt like Im in the field while watching. The other three stands could have been opened for further more crowd so that the stadium looks full. Other than that,its good

The hundred years old stadium with about 38000 seat capacity(but 50,000 not including I,J,K seats)...Wonderful crowd experience i felt in the stadium....The minus part of the stadium was no parking areas and very high price rate, as price charge starts from rs.1200.

While Travelling In Electric Train passing at the M.A.CHidambaram stadium the view is really super to see the stadiumThe team has played 955 ODI matches, winning 579, losing 333, tying 9 and with 34 ending in a no-result. As of January 2021, Australia is ranked fourth in the ICC ODI Championship on 111 rating points, though have been ranked first for 141 of 185 months since its introduction in 2002. Australia is the most successful team in ODI cricket history, winning more than 60 per cent of their matches,[14] with a record seven World Cup final appearances (1975, 1987, 1996, 1999, 2003, 2007 and 2015) and have won the World Cup a record five times: 1987, 1999, 2003, 2007 and 2015. Australia is the first (and only) team to appear in four consecutive World Cup finals (1996, 1999, 2003 and 2007), surpassing the old record of three consecutive World Cup appearances by the West Indies (1975, 1979 and 1983) and the first and only team to win 3 consecutive World Cups (1999, 2003 and 2007). The team was undefeated in 34 consecutive World Cup matches until the 2011 Cricket World Cup where Pakistan beat them by 4 wickets in the Group stage.It is also the second team to win a World Cup (2015) on home soil, after India (2011). Australia have also won the ICC Champions Trophy twice (2006 and 2009) making them the first and the only team to become back to back winners in the Champions Trophy tournaments. Australia is the only team to win 5 Cricket World Cups, no other team has won more than 2 Cricket World Cups at most.

Best stadium

1. Located in the center of Chennai, it is a historical place for the game of cricket in Chepauk.2. Many great giants and masters of Cricket have played here.3. This ground has seen some of the fine moments of the game, including clasiic Tie of a Test match.4. Green field with new modern stand can seat about 45000 spectators.5. It is a big disappointment that 3 of the new stands are not open to fans, due to illogical and unexplained reasons.6. This ground is famous for Test, one day and T20 Cricket.7. It is only 500 meters from the world famous Marina beach.

Cricket forever. And Madras cricket academy is the best in this stadium development and stuffs. Such a cool place and a big stadium. CSK MATCH.

Had a great experience while watching Cricket here. The atmosphere during ipl matches here is really awesome. This place very easily accessible via public transport. One could reach here via local train which runs between Beach station and Velachery. Also the marina beach is also near by to the stadium at a walk-able distance.

Home to the Teams India, Tamil Nadu and Chennai Superkings. Crowds thronging the stadium has been popularly acknowledged as the Knowledgeable Chennai Crowd. The spirit to cheer even for the oppositions on field commitment is what separates them from the rest. You will have to sweat it out to watch matches during summer. On the whole, a decently maintained stadium.

Awesome memories you will have if you come here for watching match....that also specially CSK match ..

One of the best stadiums 🔥Well maintained

An Indian international and Indian premier league venue for cricket. One of the most popular ground in cricket and often for political issue. Famous for its Saeed Anwer innings in which he scored a then world record 194 in One day international.Good place for enjoyment and cricket.சேப்பாக்கத்துக்கு ஒரு விசில் போடுங்க....

Awesome aura and ambience after the new stands and shades were erected.. The place to be when a cricket match is on!!

Good place but food is very expensive1glass water is 50 rs

Chennais very own den. The lions den, and what a day to be present. The Indian team winning over the Aussies. You are definitely in for a scintillating atmosphere whenever youre here. You will not regret watching the match from the stadium. Worth every penny!

One of the best stadiums for domestic and international cricket. It could be kept more clean and tidy.

Excellent infrastructure!!!With all facilities. But they dont even allow any food items even water bottles inside the stadium.and also the prices of food items they sale is bit expensive.

Most energetic place in chennai...Cricket lover

IPL is always awesome. Atmospheric, vibrant, loud... not great food, and long queues for the water stand, but a great experience and even walking outside is a real experience...

One of the best stadium in Asia. 💕

Sale of tickets is totally unorganized. BMS will have tickets but all the expensive ones. The starting price tickets will be available only at the stadium counters and those are sold in an unorganized manner. They sometimes sell only 1 ticket per person even if allowed number is 2. Finding a Parking slot maybe difficult if you are late. For the lower stands, plastic chairs are arranged and tied to one another.

I thoroughly enjoyed this match. It’s a great view out there. Fun filled all over.

Marvelous i have been associated since 1968 always great in all

The stadium is awesome..You can see the match clearly in the upper tier and if you want see all the players face the lower tier is better, During free practice sessions you can see dhoni, raina and other csk players easily.

Watched three matches in this stadium..Good infrastructure and well maintained..Tickets prices are too high in this stadium..

Chepauk or rather the M A Chidambaram stadium is way past its absolutely unbearable days when it was literally a furnace. You would be dying to get out of the place because of the extreme humidity and heat inside. But the reconstruction of the stands has made it much better and makes for better viewing.Secondly, even the traffic police tell you can park wherever you want, but beware of them towing even when there is absolutely no warning against not parking. Make sure you park it in the beach or the presidency college, which are not very far away from the cheap stands.But more importantly, beware of these BookMyShow volunteers who dont do their job and ask you to go and sit in some random seat rather than the actual seat. Please insist to sit in the right seat, because some gullible people do think its ok to sit wherever they want. Then this leads to an unnecessary argument with the police and spoils your viewing experience.

Very dirty place. Not cleaned and maintained properly. I wonder why water bottles are not allowed but they are supplying pizza boxes. Nice comedy.

A very good sport yard for beginners and players.

The best stadium probably! Situated near the Marina. Its so good to feel the atmosphere and the crowd at Chepauk
