Bagh area of the city, near the State Secretariat and opposite to the Calcutta High Court. The stadium itself was established in 1864 and currently holds 66,349 people following renovations for the Cricket World Cup 2011 ; a capacity down from an estimated 100,000 before the upgrade.

It is said that `` a cricketer 's cricketing education is not complete till he has played in front of a packed Eden Gardens. '' Former Indian Captain and Kolkata Native Sourav Ganguly confessed once in an interview that the roar of crowd at the stadium he heard when India defeated Australia in the Second Test of 2000 -- 01 Border -- Gavaskar Trophy was the most loud he had ever heard.

Renovation had been undertaken to meet the standards set by the International Cricket Council ( ICC ) for the 2011 World Cup.

The plans for the renovated stadium included a new clubhouse and players ' facilities, upgrades of the exterior walls to give the stadium a new look, cladding the existing roof structure with a new metal skin, new / upgraded patron amenities & signage and general infrastructure improvements. The upgrade also meant reduction of the seating capacity to about 66,000 from around 100,000 before the upgrade.

This match, scheduled on 27 February 2011, was played in Bengaluru at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. The stadium hosted the remaining three scheduled World Cup 2011 Matches on 15, 18 and 20 March 2011.
