India vs England 3rd Test | Fans trickle in, many avoid bird's eye view at Narendra Modi Stadium

India TV News  

The new and grand Narendra Modi Stadium built in Ahmedabad excited some fans but did not excite some others. In many stadia in India there remain issues with fans getting a clear view, either because of pillars or something else, but this being a modern stadium a more horizontal approach instead of the vertical would have helped like at the Ekana International stadium in Lucknow which was built by a private body in 2017. We avoided a vertical approach because of the view of the fans," Gauraw Singh, the head of operations at Ekana cricket stadium, told IANS. However, a clearer picture and how fans feel will emerge only when the stadium will get packed and seats even in the top rows of the upper tier will be in demand, either in next month's T20 series against England or in the IPL games next year.
