Its time more stadiums are privatized.. these government owned stadiums are not maintained properly and all are named after gandhis which is frustrating ...it should after the likes of sachins, dhyan chand or vijayans or milkhas... or have historic names like cooperage , salt lake..
In case of fund raising the stadiums named after a company sounds better but not for sake of keeping name of politicians who have done nothing good for sports.
I am a fan of company named stadiums... at least if a stadium is brand new. Places where the stadium is historic should probably be left with the name it has.
As per one leading Malayalam daily , Qatar Airways, Oman Airways and Emirates are in the front line for the Karyavattom stadium naming rights . Also Corporate companies can own the boxes in the stadium. There are 20 such boxes available. Already two dozen companies shown interest in owning the same.
@shankar Indian Businessman are more corrupt then Government. They want to use tax payer paid Govt. built facilities for free. remember Pune IPL Stadium named after Sahara Group, Sahara did not even pay the money for naming the stadium. after 1,2 years of naming and asking again and again to Sahara for money, name is back to MCA (Maharashtra cricket association)stadium Pune. These IPL Franchises want to use Govt. built stadiums and then pay concessional rates claiming it is a cultural event. It is tax payer who foots most of the bill of Police bandobast, lighting etc. Private builder wants free land from government, loans which they will hardly pay back-If you want to wait for some private company to build sports facilities -you will never see even a Table tennis table. I would like to see even one tiny infrastructure built by IPL, HIL, ISL franchises. ISL tents for children???? Where are they?
Munna's got a valid point. When a super successful cricket franchise does absolutely zilch for sports infrastructure or even youth development but wait..ISL waale karenge
