The Arnos Vale Stadium is a cricket ground in Arnos Vale, near Kingstown, St. Vincent. The multi-use ground – part of Arnos Vale Sports Complex – is situated next to and to the west of the Arnos Vale Playing Field.{{efn|The sports complex itself is located just south of the site of the former E. T. Joshua Airport.}}
The stadium holds the capacity to accommodate 18,000 people and is mostly used for football and cricket matches.
History
The stadium hosted its first ever international game on 4 February 1981. The match was an ODI between West Indies and England and was a close encounter which the hosts won by two runs.
The ground's maiden Test match came in 1997, when the West Indies played Sri Lanka to a draw, with Sri Lanka finishing on 233–8 chasing a target of 269 runs. The second Test held at the ground, in 2009, saw Bangladesh record their maiden Test victory over the West Indies by 95 runs. At the time the West Indies were without many of their leading players due to a dispute with the West Indies Cricket Board, so seven Test debutantes featured in the West Indian team.{{cite web |date=18 August 2010 |title=West Indies v Bangladesh 2009 |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/473139.html |access-date=25 February 2018 |website=ESPNcricinfo}}{{cite web|title=1st Test, Bangladesh tour of West Indies at Kingstown, Jul 9-13 2009|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/westindies/engine/match/401071.html|website=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=25 February 2018}}
Ahead of the 2007 Cricket World Cup, hosted by the West Indies, Arnos Vale Sports Complex was renovated over a period of 18 months. The ground's playing area was enlarged, and on the eastern side of the ground a new stand, media centre, operations centre, and pavilion were constructed.{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/arnos-vale-cutting-it-close-280470|title=Arnos Vale cutting it close|last=Gill|first=Haydn|date=15 February 2007|access-date=20 February 2023|website=ESPNcricinfo}}
