The Wankhede Stadium at Churchgate needs no introduction, at least not for fans of Cricket. Besting the only existing international cricket venue at the time—the Brabourne—the Wankhede Stadium was built in 1975 and has since been the prime venue for matches. Boasting an "official" seating capacity of 45,000, the crowds pack the Sachin Tendulkar, Sunil Gavaskar and Vijay Merchant stands, bleachers named after stalwarts of Indian cricket. A match at the Wankhede Stadium shouldn't be missed, purely for the atmosphere if not anything else. The stadium lacks a concession stand, so its best to tuck in at Pizzeria, Croissants, Samrat, Gaylord or 210°C—fast food eateries located just around the corner. On second thoughts, you might as well use their washroom facilities too.NYC Best Hotel Deals: 50% Savings In New York! Experience New York At It's Finest!JustClickLocal.comAlaska – it’s HOT!
