Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium is located strategically since the tourists can come here from Jolly Grant Airport directly via Thano, instead of coming via DehraDun city. From Maharana Pratap Chowk, there is another road, that goes to Dhanaulty and then Mussoorie. The stadium has the capacity of around 25000 people and is the first international stadium of Uttarakhand. 


The reason for coming up with the stadium was that the players from the state had to move to different cities of India, since there was no good infrastructure available for playing cricket in Uttarakhand.
