Both the pitches are equipped with state-of-the-art facilities for the players like change rooms, relaxation lounges and a spacious VVIP lounge.
The entire stadium is centrally air-conditioned and fitted with lifts, barrier free provisions for athletes and spectators who are physically challenged. The stadium will get its power supply from two grids with a backup based on generator sets and battery uninterrupted power supply.All these features make it arguably the best hockey stadium in the world.
OVERVIEW:
The newly reconstructed Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium in Delhi was inaugurated by Sports Minister M. S. Gill on January 24. It is the first Commonwealth Games venue in the capital to be completed and showcased to the world.
Situated right across from India Gate, the stadium was originally built in 1933 as a multi-purpose stadium and named the Irwin Amphitheatre. It was renamed National Stadium and served as the host of the inaugural Asian Games in 1952. The stadium was renovated for the 1982 Asiad, and later renamed Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium in 2002.
"I dedicate this stadium to hockey lovers across the globe," said Gill, and described it as an 'architectural marvel.' He added, "Let's salute everyone, including the daily wage labourers, who all have put in tremendous efforts day in and out to complete this stadium."
During his half-an-hour speech, the minister took a stroll down memory lane when he described the joy of watching Sahu Mewalal scoring the winning goal in Indian football team's 1-0 win over Iran at this very venue during the 1951 Asiad final.
Many former players said that the new stadium can rank amongst the world's best hockey stadiums. "We should have more and more events here. It will be good for the game, as well as for the stadium," said a former player.
The stadium has got an international look, with modern changing rooms equipped with sauna, massage, lockers, a plush lounge, and modern media rooms.

Description
The 2010 Hockey World Cup will be the twelfth instalment of the Men's Hockey World Cup. On November 14, 2007, the International Hockey Federation (FIH) announced that the championship would be held in India, taking place over two weeks from Feb 28 to March 13, 2010 at New Delhi's Dhyan Chand National Stadium.

India was warned it could lose the right to host the World Cup unless satisfactory progress was made. It was confirmed on July 18, 2008 that International Hockey Federation formally awarded the hosting rights to India.fff
