Lal Dighi Ground is intertwined with many important chapters of Bangladesh's history. From the British period through the Pakistan era and into independent Bangladesh, numerous historical political gatherings and movements have taken place on this field. The ground stands as a silent witness to the struggles of the people of Chittagong for political and social rights. The history of this ground is also deeply connected with the traditional Abdul Jabbarer Boli Khela and the Baishakhi Mair.

Elderly and young athletes practice various sports here, and the ground serves as a popular spot for walking and gathering among local residents. Right next to the ground is the historic Laldighi and the famous Sen Bari. Nearby landmarks include the Chittagong GPO, Anderkilla Shahi Mosque, and Hazari Gali. Additionally, traditional educational institutions such as J M Sen School and College and Kadam Mubarak Shahi High School are located very close to this area.

Lal Dighi Ground can be easily accessed from any part of Chittagong city by rickshaw, CNG-driven auto-rickshaw, or bus. It is conveniently reachable on foot or by transport from New Market or Anderkilla intersection.

The ground holds the memories of brave freedom fighters of the anti-British movement and numerous historical and political figures of this region.
