someone Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Capacity 45000 Sucks for an international sports final. 2nd most popular sport and the final only 45000. Shame really, as there are bigger stadiums in India.
hari504504 Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Looks quite bland. Look at the ridiculous outfield , some grass please!!
saneindian Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 IMO DY Patil stadium is a far better option for the final!
Dravid Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Sucks for an international sports final. 2nd most popular sport and the final only 45000. Shame really, as there are bigger stadiums in India. makes no sense...final of a WC in a cricket crazy nation played in a ground that holds 45000..thats like a population of a gulli in mumbai :hysterical:
Guest prince Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Lorgat virtually rules out any India match at Eden International Cricket Council chief executive Haroon Lorgat today virtually ruled out any possibility of an India match being held at the Eden Gardens though the three World Cup fixtures at the venue next month are expected to be held as per schedule. "I have received a preliminary report (after yesterday's inspection) and the progress has been very good since January 25. In all likelihood, the remaining three matches will be held as per schedule," Lorgat told mediapersons at a promotional event announcing ICC's tie-up with Hyundai Motors here. Eden Gardens was originally allotted four World Cup matches but the India-England game originally scheduled there on February 27 was shifted to Bangalore due to under-preparedness of the stadium.
Holysmoke Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Dude, its done. They arent gonna play Ind-Eng @ Eden. Get over it. My friend also got tickets for the shifted one @ bangalore.
Cricketics Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Looks good now. I hope they can add some capacity for the future. I mean this ground gets to host so many games, we should have atleast 80,000 seats there. Hopefully they will add that too once the cup is done.. Regardless of how good, beautiful DY patil is, you would want Brabourne or Wankhede hosting games more and more than that one in chinatown.
yoda Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 45,000 capacity is enough to hold 80,000 people in India. :hehe: :(( At least the stadium looks like it is ready, may be cause we have only gotten long shots. :winky: Even Kolkatta stadium looks great from a outside shot just 2 weeks after it was declared unfit. :giggle:
Cricketics Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 herez a latest article I found on Wankhede. No guarantee though. http://www.dnaindia.com/sport/report_will-wankhede-stadium-go-the-eden-gardens-way_1505212
Clarke Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 herez a latest article I found on Wankhede. No guarantee though. http://www.dnaindia.com/sport/report_will-wankhede-stadium-go-the-eden-gardens-way_1505212 They care about fire safety regulations :two_thumbs_up:
nikred Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Why no friggin matches in Hyderabad? Its got a decent stadium there. :hitler: HCA you suck. :whack:
b555 Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 31,000 seats at Wankhede, but just 4,000 for aam aadmi Source Thats why i hate our administration :mad:
nballa Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 yeah think about that the next time you go into a movie theater and put napkins/hats/coats etc on 20 seats to your left and right and reserve them for your buddies. like the old man once said 'be the change you want to see in the world'
msplash9 Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Why are these guys conducting the Match Wankhde? There are far better and reputed stadiums in our country
