Dubai Sports City Overview
The Dubai Sports City is another mega project in Dubai land, and as the name suggests it is a mixed-use sports area that is the first of its kind in the world. The entire project was planned on 50 million square feet of space near to Emirates road. With a budget of 4 billion dollars, Dubai Sports City boasts four arenas. The first is a 60,000 seat outdoor stadium that is meant for different types of events including rugby, soccer and athletics. The second stadium is a purpose built cricket stadium that can accommodate 25,000 people. The third stadium is smaller and has capacity for 10,000 fans and has an indoor venue for sports and concerts. The smallest of the four arenas is the hockey stadium which has room for only 5,000 spectators. Dubai Sports City has a world class golf course and several sports academies to help train local and international athletes.
