Lahore Stadium, was renamed in 1974 in honor of Libyan leader Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi following a speech he gave at an Organization of the Islamic Conference meeting in favor of Pakistan's right to pursue nuclear weapons. The stadium houses the headquarters of the Pakistan Cricket Board. It was designed by Daghestani-born architect and engineer Nasreddin Murat-Khan who also designed Lahore's Minar-e-Pakistan and constructed by Mian Abdul Khaliq and Company in 1959. In 1995-96, the Gaddafi Stadium was renovated by architect Nayyar Ali Dada for the1996 Cricket World Cup. Dada's redesign was done in the Mughal style, with red, hand-laid brickwork and arches. Dada also had plastic seating installed in place of the existing concrete benches. The lower portion under the stands was enclosed and converted to shops for boutiques and offices. Gaddafi Stadium was the first inPakistan to be equipped with modern floodlights having their own standby power generators.
