A staidum in Skardu would be like a staidum in heaven. It would be the most beautiful stadium in the world. @WAJsal

It would be highest stadium of the world too. Nice decision.

People will be more interested in the Landscapes around the Stadium more than the Teams playing inside it haha

Great idea. It will be a wonderful place to enjoy the weather, scenic beauty and the beautiful game of cricket.

I don't think a stadium at such high altitude will ever get to host an international cricket match.

Why not ? I have been there many times. It is a beautiful U-shaped valley carved out by glaciers during the last ice age. Skardu has plenty of space where a cricket stadium can be built. A road journey from Rawalpindi/Islamabad takes 24 to 30 hours but one gets acclimatized by gaining height gradually. A plane takes around one hour and effects of altitude are experienced on landing but they go away in a few hours. Besides a cricket match at Skardu will be a dream holiday for players as a bonus. After a few matches the players will like that place so much that they will prefer to play there than anywhere else.

i dont wanna die without watching cricket match at such a beautiful place

1: Given the current designs of Pakistani stadiums will it really add to the look of the area?
2: Will high altitude affect performance of players?
3: Given that's it's pretty remote how do we know it won't be empty half the time or left to ruin when teams are not in town, such as Brazillian stadium in a remote location

Staidums are waste of Money !!!

Simple Solution for Sports venues for community are Turf fields

Build it once , 10% cost of stadium , and it can grow at its own pace when community watches sports more often

Such simple fields are ideal for communities and organized sports regional level

The best part these fields look FANTASTIC in pictures and always brand new



What is the point of pouring million gallons of concrete to make stadium when you will waste 99% money on cement and useless stadium

Stadiums are so out of reach of reach of kids and youth complete waste of money and time

At least developing solid Turf field (artificial grass not astro truf) gives access to millions of kids across country to sports fields which brings out raw talent


80% funds go to the developer or cement factory or the land broker ~~~ that is the reality. Cut the red tape and build 5,000 fields with latest Turf technology like they do in Singapore etc or other nations
