'''Moin-ul-Haq Stadium''' is located in [[Patna]], [[Bihar]], [[India]]. The multi-purpose stadium has hosted three [[One Day International]] (ODI) matches including one from the [[1996 Cricket World Cup]]. The stadium has a [[Seating capacity|capacity]] of 25,000 people. It is used for [[cricket]] and [[association football]]. It is the home ground of Bihar Ranji Team. The [[government]] has proposed the stadium development expanding its seating capacity to 42,500. It is maintained by [[Bihar Cricket Association]]. Bihar Ranji Team had currently played many Ranji matches on this ground.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The stadium was previously known as [[Rajendra Nagar, Patna|Rajendra Nagar]] Stadium. It was renamed in 1970 after the death of icon [[Moin-ul-Haq]], who was general secretary of [[Indian Olympic Association]] (IOA), India's [[chef-de-mission]] of the Indian Olympic contingent in 1948 to London and in 1952 to Helsinki, and one of the founding vice-presidents along with K A D Naoroji of the [[Bihar Cricket Association]], in the year 1936 at [[Jamshedpur]], of Bihar.<ref>{{cite web|title=Remembering Moin-ul-Haq: An administrator par excellence|url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-08-13/others/33181627_1_ioa-indian-olympic-association-indian-sports|access-date=2 January 2014|date=13 August 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140103062957/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-08-13/others/33181627_1_ioa-indian-olympic-association-indian-sports|archive-date=3 January 2014|work=[[The Times of India]]|df=dmy-all}}</ref><br />
<br />
In 2013, it was announced by the [[Chief Minister of Bihar]] [[Nitish Kumar]] that an [[Nalanda International Cricket Stadium|international cricket stadium]] will be constructed at [[Rajgir]], [[Nalanda district]] and Moin-ul-Haq Stadium and Patliputra Sports Complex's indoor stadium will go for renovations.<ref>[http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/patna/Bihar-government-plans-world-class-stadium/articleshow/20388841.cms Bihar government plans world-class stadium]</ref><ref>[http://www.business-standard.com/article/news-ians/bihar-to-construct-world-class-cricket-stadium-113121100337_1.html Bihar to construct world class cricket stadium] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924123645/http://www.business-standard.com/article/news-ians/bihar-to-construct-world-class-cricket-stadium-113121100337_1.html |date=24 September 2015 }}</ref><br />

==Ground information==<br />
<br />
It was a state-of-the-art stadium in India with modern seating, equipment and facilities for players and spectators alike.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://beta.cricket.yahoo.com/cricket/profile/ground-profile?gid=98 |title=Moin-ul-Haq Stadium (Moinul Haque Stadium) |access-date=2008-09-10 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120707010310/http://beta.cricket.yahoo.com/cricket/profile/ground-profile?gid=98 |archive-date=7 July 2012 |df=dmy-all }}</ref> But as the stadium is being neglected by the [[Board of Control for Cricket in India]] when it comes to hosting of international match because of problem between the [[Bihar Cricket Association]] and the [[Board of Control for Cricket in India]],<ref>{{cite web |url=http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/india/content/story/256671.html |title=Bihar Cricket Association reinstated |access-date=2008-09-10 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080911171106/http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/india/content/story/256671.html |archive-date=11 September 2008 |df=dmy-all }}</ref> it has become totally outdated (more after the [[Indian Premier League|Indian Premier league]] emerged and other stadiums became Up-To-Date). After [[Jharkhand]] was carved out of [[Bihar]], [[Bihar cricket team|Bihar]] lost its [[Ranji Trophy]] team status. So, no [[Ranji Trophy]] matches are even held here. The stadium features a swimming pool and a cricket academy. It has a "Turf" pitch that follows the international standard. It is very near to [[Rajendra Nagar Terminal]].<br />
