Rabindra Sarobar Stadium, Multi-purpose stadium in Lake Gardens, Kolkata, India.
Rabindra Sarobar Stadium is a multi-use stadium in Lake Gardens, Kolkata, with a capacity of 22,000 spectators. It opened in 1961 and is used for football matches, hosting many Calcutta Football League fixtures, as well as Rugby Union matches.
The stadium opened in 1961 under the West Bengal government as a modern sports center for Kolkata and the surrounding region. Since its founding, it has developed into an important venue for football and athletic events.
Mohun Bagan used the ground for most of its home matches in the 2016–17 I-League season and for its AFC Cup ties in 2017. Rugby union matches are also played here, so the calendar mixes football with another sport.
The stadium is easily accessible by public transportation, with several bus routes and metro stations serving the Lake Gardens area. Visitors should plan to arrive early on event days to allow time for travel and finding parking.
ATK used the stadium as its home ground in 2016, not 2017, while Salt Lake Stadium was being renovated for the 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup. The Italian Wikipedia gives ATK's stay as 2016 to 2020. In 2017 Mohun Bagan played their AFC Cup home matches here.
