Sir Vivian Richards Stadium

Named after a famous West Indies cricket team captain, the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium is a massive open-aired arena dedicated to the popular sport of cricket. Easily recognizable thanks to its distinctive blue shades, the stadium was built in 2007 in honor of the International Cricket Council World Cup. Numerous matches were held here and around the island during the event, and the 10,000-seat stadium was temporarily expanded to hold 20,000 people specifically for it.
The Sir Vivian Richards Stadium is a modern structure and continues to host Caribbean Premier League cricket matches every year. There is a northern stand and a south stand, a practice pitch, a training facility and a media center.
