Check the full venue name and address on your ticket: Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Stadium in Navrangpura is a different venue from Narendra Modi Stadium in Motera. The similar names can lead to a wrong destination if you search only for “Sardar Patel Stadium.”
The Gujarat Cricket Association and BCCI give the Motera venue’s address as Stadium Road, Motera, Sabarmati, Ahmedabad 380005. BCCI gives its capacity as 1,32,000, names the Adani Pavilion End and Jio End, and notes that floodlights are present. The Gujarat Cricket Association owns and operates the stadium, which is also the home ground of the Gujarat Titans.
The Motera stadium was constructed in 1982 with seating for 49,000 cricket fans. The Gujarat Cricket Association decided to reconstruct it in October 2015, and redevelopment was completed in February 2020. The ICC says it was renamed Narendra Modi Stadium in 2021.
How do you get to the stadium area?
For the Motera venue, the journey from the hotel is about 13 minutes on foot or 5 minutes by car.
If you plan to use rail, check the Ahmedabad Metro guide to stations and routes to work out whether a station suits your event journey. Service patterns and access arrangements can change, so check the operator’s official information before travelling.
For a car journey, use the Motera address rather than the Navrangpura venue name when entering your destination. Leave room in your schedule for event-day traffic and entry checks; the stadium’s capacity means many people may be heading to the area for a large match.
Event entry, security and transport checks
Your ticket’s venue and entry details are the starting point for event-day planning. Match-specific access instructions and transport arrangements can differ, so use the event organiser’s guidance rather than assuming the same gate or service pattern applies each time.
Regular metro hours and special event extensions are not interchangeable. Check current Ahmedabad Metro information before travelling, and confirm that the station and service you plan to use fit your event timing. The Gujarat Cricket Association gives 079-35201090 and gca@gujaratcricketassociation.com as contact details.
The Motera stadium hosts Test, ODI, T20I, first-class and List A cricket. Its event calendar can include different match formats; confirm your event’s start time and entry instructions with its official source. For airport arrival planning, the route from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport to central Ahmedabad is another detail to check as you plan your journey.
Planning an event-day stay
The name alone does not distinguish the Navrangpura venue from Narendra Modi Stadium in Motera, so compare your ticket with the full address before setting off. Sardar Patel Stadium is about a 13-minute walk or 5 minutes by car from this three-star hotel in Ahmedabad.
Check the official site before you go.
