Mumbai's await for some i-league action is coming to its end <!-- s:dance: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/eusa/dance.gif" alt=":dance:" title="Dance" /><!-- s:dance: --> cant wait to see mumbai fc and air india showing some great display for us fans in cooperage and gain all success possible to be achieved in india...
here are some pics of cooperage new laid turf https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150499182653991.390660.102806713990&type=3
as turf is laid, i guess we are not much away from some real stadium action
The Capacity of the Cooperage Ground is expected to be 5,000 people but then every year they want to expand it and maybe eventually if they can create more room they would like 20,000, all bucket seats.
I am hoping they give away stadium naming rights away too. How sweet would the Air India Stadium sound.
BTW while I am at this thread why don't we give stadium naming rights away. Right now we have sponsors as the name of clubs. Well why don't the AIFF negotiate with these companies to give of team naming rights and give them stadium rights...
Cooperage Ground - Air India Stadium
Balewadi Complex - Peninsula Stadium
Salt Lake Stadium - United Breweries Arena
Nehru Stadium, Shillong - Airtel Stadium
Kaloor Stadium - The Chirag Stadium
Bangalore Football Stadium - Hindustan Aeronautics Stadium
This would be awesome and it would give companies a better way to advertise than through the team name. The thing that supposed to represent a state/city. Not a company.
Hi @ all
I am from germany and I like to watch some indian football the next week. for this reason I am searching for a list about the stadiums in use in first and exspecially second division. Can somebody help me with such a list (stadium name/ City/ football team), it would be easier for me to decide, which football matches I can watch live in stadium doing my round trip next week in india. For first division I found a list in an other thread:
"
- Salt Lake Stadium (Kolkata - 120,000 capacity [5,000 to 10,000 bucket seats]) - Mohun Bagan, East Bengal, Prayag United, Pailan Arrows
- Cooperage Ground (Mumbai - 5,000 capacity [Not sure how many bucket seats]) - Mumbai FC, Air India FC
- Fatorda Stadium (Margao - 27,300 capacity [around 1,000 bucket seats]) - Salgaocar, Dempo, Churchill, Sporting Goa
- Balewadi Stadium (Pune - 20,000 capacity [all bucket seats]) - Pune FC
- Bangalore Football Stadium (Bangalore - 15,000 capacity [not sure how many bucket seats]) - HAL SC
- Kaloor International Stadium (Kerala - 60,000 capacity [whole lower tier bucket seats, also capacity might be lowed for football matches]) - Chirag United Kerala
- University Stadium - (Thiruvananthapuram - 15,000 [no bucket seats]) - Chirag United Kerala

the second division is run only for around 4 months in india and it is starting from 1st feb at venues in delhi, cuttack and silchair will be running till end of feb.
and i wish your trip to india be fruitful get all important details for your project <!-- s:handgestures-thumbup: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/handgestures/thumbup.gif" alt=":handgestures-thumbup:" title="Thumb Up" /><!-- s:handgestures-thumbup: -->
Thanks for this fast answers, so my first indian football match will be mumbai fc vs air indian in Pune, arriving 2am on saturday in mumbai, should be no problem going to pune by train and then with train to goa for the next match on sunday Dempo vs Salgaocar in Fatorda Stadium and Tuesday Kaloor Stadium.
btw I know about 2 division matches on Feb 1st and 2nd, is one match maybe on Wednesday, 1st in Delhi (matches should be Ar-Hima vs Aizawl, Southern Samity vs Eagles, Royal Wahingdoh vs Samaleswari, Sesa Football Academy vs Kenkre, Mohammedan vs KGF Academy and Vasco SC vs PIFA Colaba), and in which stadium (Dr. Ambedkar Stadium?) and is it right that Mohammedan (specially on Sunday Feb 5th)is playing in Kolkotta (you just said dehli, cuttack and silchair) in a smaller stadium, not in Salt Lake?
May you have a link for fixtures with stadiums and kick off time, the aiff site just show the matches.
Well this are many questions, maybe it is the wrong thread(allthough it is about infrastructure), you can also answer with personal message.
Thanks for your fast helping.
