The site enjoys good views of the surrounding area. Jagannath Temple, Hatia dam and world famous HEC (Heavy Engineering Corporation) Plant is clearly observed from the stadium site. The stadium has been constructed in such a manner that shadow doesn’t fall on any of the nine pitches before 4.45 p.m, even on the shortest day of the year. There is another ground in the complex which has five main pi
tches and eight practice pitches. The stadium has a seating capacity of around 35,000 and 76 corporate boxes. The spectators can also enjoy view from two nearby hills on the East and West sides. The two pavilions, North and South, have five levels each which include VVIP areas, members' enclosure, donors' enclosure, president's box, the BCCI box and two large dressing rooms with separate dining space for players. Membrane roofs provide shade from the sun, and together with the elegant structure consisting of steel braces, contribute to the memorable appearance of the stadium. The Stadium also features an Indoor Cricket center, with residential complex where players can stay for training
