(Comments from some of the teams)

It is very easy to get to the grounds as it is within the hotel premises.
The auxiliary ground is very convenient not only for goalkeepers but also for other players to stretch, to do circuit training and so on.
The water drains from the grounds so rapidly even if it rains.
The hilly area around the grounds is good for athletic training.
