About About the place

MGR Race Course Stadium is a large, long-standing sports ground in Madurai, named after the popular Tamil Nadu film star and former Chief Minister M.G. Ramachandran. Originally built before many current residents were born, the stadium underwent renovations in 2012, upgrading it with a synthetic track and a variety of courts and fields. It caters to a wide range of sports, including athletics, badminton, tennis, cricket, football, and basketball, and also features a swimming pool. The stadium is a popular training ground for athletes and a common spot for locals seeking fitness activities like walking and jogging. While it serves a vital role in the community, some visitors note that the facilities could benefit from further upgrades and improved maintenance.
