Accurately plan your route to watch IPL match in Chinnaswamy Stadium

M.Chinnaswamy Stadium is well connected to the Roadways and Railways in Bangalore. Reaching on time is a hassle during traffic – Better check the traffic status on www.traffline.com before heading towards the stadium.


Entry to Stadium 
Entry to spectators from Gate No. 1 to Gate No. 8 from Queen’s Road will be allowed. Those who want to enter from Cubbon Road may do so through the road behind HAL corporate office (Gate No. 18 to Gate No. 20), while those entering through Gate No. 16 and 17 may come from Anil Kumble Circle.

Due to Metro works near BRV grounds and near CTO Junction, people are requested to use BMTC Buses to reach stadium, BIG 10 Buses are arranged for all parts of the city to help the spectators after the match to ensure smooth traffic around the stadium.
