Seats at Kanteerava need to be changed or cleaned. Plan is to only use 60% of the stadium. ..that way there will be good atmosphere or as @ArsenalFan700 mentioned ...the same problem that MLS clubs had playing in non soccer specific stadiums with veru large capacity. BFC averaged 6500 last season and could've expanded to 9 or 10K in the games vs Bagan , Lajong or East Bengal...and guessing ISL might get same numbers....so better to only use 60% of this stadium and ignore the higher sections behind the goals where the fans will be very far from the action
Stadium will get necesssary approval from AFC for international games, AFC Cup games on full stadium basis, not on facilities on one small part of the stadium. This stadium was House Full when India played UAE in 2001 for World Cup Qualifier. When time is there, money is there, opportunity is there, why not refurbish whole facility??? With the same thinking, we have half broken stadium of KSFA where there is no cement, steel in half of the stadium. The builders thought that Bangalore will never get crowd so their cheating will never be caught. But when BFC was launched in I-League, there corruption came in front.
@gaffertape Who is paying for refurbishment of Sree Kanthareeva stadium? Owners Karnataka Government? Karnataka Football association? Bangalore FC? IMG reliance? or ha ha ha Bangalore Franchise of ISL? Paid media will go ga-ga otherwise that Reliance Group is spending money for refurbishment of the stadiums???
How much football is popular in Ahmedabad or whole of Gujarat? They should also make a world class football stadium in football crazy states such as Meghalaya and Mizoram.
