Gaddafi Stadium (Urdu: قذافی اسٹیڈیم‎ / ALA-LC: Qaẕẕāfī Isṭeḍiyam), or Qaddafi Stadium, previously known as Lahore Stadium is a cricket playing ground in Lahore, Pakistan, owned by the Pakistan Cricket Board.[1] It was designed by famous architect and engineer Nasreddin Murat-Khan, and constructed by Mian Abdul Khaliq and Company in 1959. The stadium was renovated for the 1996 Cricket World Cup when it hosted the final.The headquarters of the Pakistan Cricket Board are situated at Gaddafi Stadium making it the home of Pakistan cricket team. The stadium has a capacity of 27,000 seats, making it one of the biggest in Pakistan.Originally Lahore Stadium, the ground was renamed in 1974 in honour of the former Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi following a speech he gave at the 2nd Organisation of the Islamic Conference meeting in Lahore in favour of Pakistans right to pursue nuclear weapons.[4] The stadium houses the headquarters of the Pakistan Cricket Board.[5]In 1995–96, the Gaddafi Stadium was renovated by architect Nayyar Ali Dada - who is qualified from National College of Arts Lahore - for the 1996 Cricket World Cup.[5] Dadas redesign was done in the Mughal style, with red, hand-laid brickwork and arches. Dada also had plastic seating installed in place of the existing concrete benches. The lower portion under the stands was enclosed and converted to shops for boutiques and offices. Gaddafi Stadium was the first in Pakistan to be equipped with modern floodlights having their own standby power generators.[6]On 23rd October 2011, Pakistan Cricket Board discussed renaming the stadium following the death of Gaddafi, to support the new government in Libya. The Punjab Olympic Association made a similar request in late October 2011 to the provincial chief minister, I dont think his profile is inspirational enough to link with our cricket stadiums identity. As of April 2012, however, it does not appear that the stadiums name will be changed after all.[7]Gaddafi Stadium being the largest cricket stadium in Pakistan used to have capacity of 60,000 spectators, until the redesigning of its enclosures reduced the capacity to 27,000.

This is a bus station and Im seeing reviews here on google maps that people are giving the review of Qazafi Stadium and not the bus stop. People are posting pictures of Qazafi Stadium instead of the bus stop which are really irrelevant. Local guides who are reading my comment, please report all those irrelevant pictures and reviews.
