Why would they build such giant stadiums for Athletics which gets crowds only for Olympics, Asian Games, and opening and closing ceremonies of national games? Salt Lake should have been constructed as a football exclusive stadium.
All those places can manage. Bengaluru FC manage to keep interest in Bangalore for a full-season. Obviously it was helped by their good form but that will be on the ISL clubs then to do well.
A longer season would also mean games on weekends, which would hopefully increase atmosphere.

Balewadi is good for Football despite the track but it's too small. If one city gets a good football specific stadium, every one else will follow.
