ACA-VDCA Stadium (Andhra Cricket Association-Vishakapatnam District Cricket Association), is a multi-purpose stadium in Visakhapatnam, India. It is currently used mostly for cricket matches. The stadium was built in 2003 and has a capacity of 46,000 people. It was given Test status in 2007 and recently upgraded to host a D/N match in view of the upcoming Indian Premier League.
The stadium has hosted two ODI matches with the host team - India winning both of these matches and is a confirmed venue for upcoming Indian Premier League.
Recently this stadium was renamed to ACA-VDCA-YSR Stadium. But most sections of people in Visakhapatnam and the region opposed this and want it to be named after Col. C K Naidu, a local celebrity on whose name a Lifetime Achievement Award is presented by BCCI which is one of the highest awards given in Indian cricket.
