Sawai Mansingh Stadium — visitor guide
The Royals have played at Sawai Mansingh Stadium since the very first IPL season — it’s a compact, old-school ground in Lal Kothi that holds nearly 24,000. The franchise’s own match-day advice is blunt: don’t drive, because parking is limited. Take the bus to Rambagh Circle or Nagar Nigam Lal Kothi, or the train to Gandhinagar or Bais Godam.
