History of Maharaja Bir Bikram College Stadium
The stadium was established in 1998 and has served as Tripura's home ground since that year. It is named for Maharaja Bir Bikram Kishore Debbarman, while the venue sits in the Maharaja Bir Bikram College campus in Collegetilla. The college itself is a Government of Tripura institution founded in 1947, but the available sources do not document a separate stadium inauguration ceremony.
CricketArchive records the venue for first-class, List A, Twenty20, women's Twenty20 and age-group matches. Its database span begins in the 1989–90 season and extends through 2024–25, showing that the ground's recorded match history predates the 1998 establishment date reported by the main venue listings. Domestic fixtures, including Ranji Trophy matches, remain the clearest documented use of the stadium; it is not listed as an international venue.
