M. A. Chidambaram Stadium — visitor guide
Chepauk is the kind of ground where the crowd feels like a twelfth man — the Chennai Super Kings fortress has stood since 1916, and the yellow army packs it to the brim for every home game. Government Estate on the Blue Line is the metro stop to use, and from there it's a short walk through the old Chepauk lanes to the ground.
