Watch the cricket match between India and South Africa. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Large venue. Ample parking. The food was okay.Positive was also the ice- cream vendors were always around :). Good atmosphere, I suppose this was because of the crowd around us. Enjoyable!

Parking is an issue. You will walk quite a bit. The toilets are okay but do smell at times. The people working there were there in number to help. During a Test match there isnt much available and freshness is questionable. Not all stands are shaded and you do need an umbrella. The finishes need to be modernized the score board is broken and need to be replaced and not just post a tiny one up. I feel this stadium could be world class once upgraded. There needs to be a better parking system and official car guards to help elevate the major traffic jams after matches.

Kingsmead is a cricket ground in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Its stated capacity is 25,000, although grass terracing makes up part of the viewing area. The end names are the Umgeni End and the Old Fort Road End. It is the home ground of the KwaZulu-Natal Dolphins.

Myself and my wife went to watch a four day provincial game today. A lovely sunny day, holiday season, beautiful grass banks and professional cricketers to entertain. But as far as we could see, we were the only two spectators at the game. When we arrived the boundary fielder turned around to greet us! The worlds worst marketing department would battle to not fill these banks on such a day. The games local administrators must be truly awful.Actually all admission gates were in fact closed. The security on the Umgeni end told us that there was definitely no game on, just a function. On the other end we had to persuade the security guard that we had come to watch the came. He asked us Why? but was very courteous and opened a gate for us to drive in. Whereupon we had the stadium to ourselves.I will go again. I just hope no-one else finds out about this cricket.

Well kept stadium and grounds with great matches at times.Fairly easy to navigate around by yourself yet lacks some bathroom cleanliness.If its a match with a large attendance then parking becomes an issue requiring you to park further away.

Kingsmead stadium is always such a great place to watch cricket. The stadium is extremely well maintained and clean.There is a good variety of seating options with a crowd favourite being the grass embankments.There are also hospitality options. Or you can get food and drink from one of the many vendors.Nothing like a day at the cricket!

Stadium has a great atmosphere, crowd is well controlled and it’s easy to find your way around. Only issue is parking, when there’s a big game, you have to park a little distance away on the centre island of the road and walk to the stadium. Otherwise, everything else is excellent.

This was the venue for the finish of Comrades Marathon. Parking is a nightmare. Toilet facilities are totally inadequate(and hard to find) for a venue this size- and very dirty. Signposting is not helpful. Perhaps it was just on the day but it really is filthy inside and out.

Since it first hosted a Test match in 1923, Kingsmead has become one of South Africa’s main cricket stadiums, and is home to the KwaZulu Natal provincial team, the Dolphins. Kingsmead is a short distance from the sea and the pitch actually sits below sea-level, which many believe offers changing conditions depending on the tide. The stadium has been redeveloped over the years to accommodate 25 000 people, while keeping the old main grandstand.Kingsmead played host to a famous timeless Test match between England and South Africa in 1939 that lasted 10 days and ended as a draw when the English team had to catch their boat back to Britain.

It is also kid friendly with lots of activities to keep kids busy during the cricket matches. I only gave 4 stars as I would have liked to be able to take my own gas braai in.
