Electrifying music and stalls for merchandise, food, beverages by IPL official sponsors transformed the CODISSIA grounds into a mini live stadium.
Organised by the BCCI, the fan park is well-received in cities like Coimbatore, as cricket enthusiasts get a chance to watch match in giant screens in stadium like atmosphere.
“ The IPL fan park is happening in Coimbatore for the fourth year. But this is the first time, we had such a huge crowd. We expected around 8000 to 10000 people but we've had 12000 fans thronging the fan park over the weekend. It's a huge success!” said Zakhir , a member of the organising team.
Prabhu, who is part of the CSK fan club core team was way too excited looking at the turn out. “With no IPL hosted in the city, we did expect a good crowd. But 12000 was a big number. In the evening it was all Yellove and we are overwhelmed. This atmosphere is truly electrifying”.
P. Akshay, a fourth class student from the city is a Mumbai Indian fan and he was visibly excited to watch the Mumbai Indians Vs KKR match. “Mumbai will win this match and top the table. They will walk to the qualifiers in style", said an excited Akshay.
