@ Deb_Ban.. Basically Pune pupil not crazy about sports.. even in IPL, we can see empty stands... may be problem is... most of them are migrants and doesn't have connection with Pune
Pune people are fond of Films, Theater, classical music, Ghazal etc. Also eating outside. But traditionally they were never hosting Cricket games or any other Sports. Cricket always went to Bombay or Nagpur. This excuse that stadiums are outside is very lame. Lakhs of people live, work, study in localities like Hinjewadi, Pimpri, Chinchwad, Nigdi which are even further away from City Center then what Balewadi Stadium is situated. Pune has good Sports infrastructure because of their MP Suresh Kalmadi who built stadiums- Balewadi Complex and also brought National Games to Pune. but you cannot just build Sports culture. Migrants or locals-they just do not follow Sports much.
