Eden gardens

Yesterday’s ‘Aukland Circus Garden’, presently famed as Eden Gardens, is the heaven for the cricket lovers over the country.  The construction of this famous stadium dates back to 1864. The stadium sits at the B. B. D. Bagh area, near State Secretariat and Calcutta High Court. The stadium covers over 50 acres and can occupy about 66,349 people at a time. It is also famed as the second-largest stadiums in the world.  Apart from the mind-blogging cricket ground, there is also a three-storeyed Burmese Pagoda to see here. This place has witnessed many historic matches including the retirement of Sachin Tendulkar from the test matches. The stadium has undergone many renovations to fit itself for different standards of international matches.
