Salt Lake Stadium, officially known as Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan (VYBK),[6] is a multipurpose stadium in Kolkata, with a current capacity of 85,000.[7] It is the largest stadium in India by seating capacity.[8] Before its renovation in 2011, it was the second largest football stadium in the world, having a seating capacity of 120,000.[9]Prior to the construction and opening of Rungrado May Day Stadium in 1989, it was the largest football stadium in the world. The stadium hosted the final match of the 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup, alongside hosting other matches of the tournament.[10][11] As part of security measures for the 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup, the stadium will only be open to 66,687 viewers instead of the stadium’s capacity of 85,000[12].Salt Lake StadiumVivekananda Yuba Bharati KriranganLocationKolkata, West Bengal, IndiaCoordinates22°34′08″N88°24′33″EOwnerIndian Football AssociationCapacity85,000Record attendance131,781[1] (Mohun Bagan vs East Bengal,13 July 1997)Field size105 m × 68 m (344 ft × 223 ft)SurfaceGrass (1984–2011)Astro-turf (2011–2015)Riviera Bermuda Grass (2015–present)[2][3]ConstructionOpenedJanuary 1984; 34 years agoRenovated2011, 2014,[4] 2016–2017ArchitectM/S.

The new turf was unveiled in a Kolkata Derby match between East Bengal and Mohun Bagan during the 2015–16 Calcutta Premier Division match.[13]AboutEditThe stadium was established in 1984 because the club grounds in the Maidan area, each with capacity around 20,000, were proving too small for the huge crowd that occupied the grounds on matchdays. And while the Eden Gardens was there to handle some of the bigger games, like the Kolkata Derby, the pressure of handling both cricket and football was proving to be a bit too much for the stadium.[14]The stadium is situated approximately 10 kilometres to the east of the Kolkatadowntown. The roof is made of metal tubes and aluminum sheets and concrete. The stadium was inaugurated in January 1984. There are two electronic scoreboards and control rooms. There is illumination at night . There are special arrangements for TV broadcasting.[15]The gigantic stadium features three tiers of concrete galleries. The stadium has 9 entry gates and 30 ramps for the spectators to reach the viewing blocks. The nine gates include the VIP gate. The gates 1 and 2 are on kadapara road, gate no.3, 3A, 4, 4A and 4B are on the side of Broadway; gate no 5 and the VIP gate are on the side of EM By pass. The ramps are inside the stadium and link the inner ring road to the different levels of the stadium complex.[16]The stadium covers an area of 76.40 acres (309,200 m2). The stadium has a unique[citation needed] synthetic track for athletic meets. It has a main football arena measuring 105 by 70 metres (344 ft × 230 ft). It also houses electronics scoreboards, elevators, VIP enclosures, peripheral floodlighting arrangement from the roof-top, air-conditioned VIP rest room, conference hall and much more. The stadium has its own water arrangements and standby diesel generation sets.[15]
