[edit] Main Picture

There are decent pictures in the public domain providing an aerial view of the stadium. Such a picture should be used as the main picture for this article.

[edit] Head Office

... has the offices of the BCCI, the head organisation of Indian cricket

Doesn't Brabourne house THE headquarters of the BCCI ? If yes, this point should be given more stress. Tintin 16:38, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Capacity of the stadium

Cricinfo and some other online sources put the capacity of the Brabourne Stadium as 20,000, but according to the sources 1 & 3 in the references listed in the article it was built to accomodate 35,000 people. This is another source which puts it as 35,000 while an article about a Rolling stones concert has it as 25,000. We need to find the correct figure. Tintin (talk) 06:19, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

I think some Wikipedian in Mumbai should contact the ground authorities & get the exact figure.

Thanks

Nichalp mentioned here that 20,000 is the more likely figure, but if we get it confirmed it would be great. Tintin (talk) 07:00, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hmmm

(In 1937) The stadium was named after Brabourne at the suggestion of the Maharaja of Patiala.

Then what was the immortality that De Mello offered Lord Brabourne ? Tintin 13:52, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
