Agreed that finally staiums are close to being ready and as usual I kept believing that we can do it.. But for the first time I felt that the project management was really bad and something that has to belooked into. Govt seriously needs to look at all of these mega projects with the option of PPP and try to get the results that they saw in T3 construction

delhi will come off good

dont worry guys

but its time for media to pulll their socks up

they r the only one to bring the possitve vibe every where abt d games

other wise everybody will forget wat going to happen frm oct 3 -14

whats wrong with reporting the facts? the public and commonwealth countries deserve to know if stadia for the games are safe. and so far we have seen images of tiles falling from swimming complex, and coming undone. its got nothing to do with moans and complaints. I do want India to have a great games. and hope they can rectify these issues.

We ourselves don't deny the facts but the Indian media over-exaggerates the news for TRP:bash:

It's good to see people liking the stadiums. I also remember people moaning about it being not finished and a lot of heated arguments over this.

Well, whether you liek it or not, That is the stark reality of the times we live in.
Take for the instance the MLS All Star game, the security was realy high.
You won't be surprised with London Olympic Stadium having flouroscent green stripes at the first row during the 100 mtr final or cordoning of the entire arena.

They're called stewards, not guards, and they won't have bloody great big guns :D

Yeah the stadium is completed only final touch ups are being given outside the stadium:)

And we all will IGNORE YOU...as uneducated soul like you fails to understand thats its just FoB that crashed and too the one under construction...

get well soon...

WOW this has to be the most beautiful stadium in the whole wide world.

so gracious and calming. What are we going to call it?

The Lotus or the Crown?

I just hope it was built better than the footbridge.

so that glasgow are not held and scotland's economy goes into recession and major contracting companies go busted so that EU will bail them out panicking the stock market and investers loosing million of $ :bash

Relax, ignore that guy

The illuminations looks great but the stadium itself isn't that impressive tho. (atleast for me)

I don´t like the first tier. The view must be awful.

It shoud be turned into a 1 BIG tier stadium.

As i said it is much better than before, which is the real progress.

I actually read somewhere that due to renovations, the final capacity would be reduced to around 60,000.
Its great to see everything should be ready and fine, despite all the naysaying by western media (and to a certain extent Indian media also).People seem to forget that, unlike in china, India is a democracy so can't just tear peoples' houses down and use forced labour :P.
Congratulatiosn to India; hope this is a good games :)

I have a great fear that, as a backward 3rd world country with a low-educated populace, the Scottish won't be able to organise the games well:nuts:

Let's leave that, it was last week, the ceremony is going on now and has been good so far

If i were you i would keep my head down until the games are over, instead of comparing India with China, which has hosted the Beijing olympics very successfully. As for your bombastic democracy claim, well that is just bogus, India's so called democracy is a rubbish one, and is a insult to all decent democracy's. all the nay sayings have been justified, they came true, unlike China and South Afraica, India failed miserably to shut the nay sayers. Also people's slums were torn down, and child labour was rampant. what kind of a democracy is this when children are used in labour and adult labours earn less than 1$ a day. no need to be so self congratulatory as the games still got a way to go.

Some of these comments are so retarded - We have poor in India so does that mean we should not celebrate and be happy .

Whats the point of showing slum dewellers. Can a nation not have aspirations asn dreams while they grow.

Have all the a holes in the imperialist europe stopped celebrating becasue their nations were built on the money of the people they ruled like barbariens.

Grow-up and show some sense.

Ignore GetSmart.....He is disgrace to his parents ....leave alone ehhh...want to say more about this richard head....whats the use...

where are the spectators?

In the stadium....somebody please arrange some chashme for him hehehe.....

wow Mo....can't you see wrestling arena...Aquatic centre, Badminton arena...Shooting arena all full....and JLN Track events will see population soon..its just started...relax your brain for few minutes friend...

Around 9,000 spectators @ JLN Stadium..not bad for first day first hour...Isn't it Motu Rush...

where are the spectators?

Where? in the opening ceremony? or you mean in general. If you mean in general then the numbers are going up. Venues today are considerbly fuller than they were a day before. I was watching wrestling, swimming, boxing and shooting.

where are the spectators?

Where were the spectators for FIFA 2010 World Cup..Its a bigger event than CWG Is??

90% plus attendance is a very different story to a scattering of people or 5,000 in a 60,000 seat venue.

You're going to fail using the WC as an example. Try another one.

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/news/2010-FIFA-World-Cup-attendance-third-highest-in-history/articleshow/6159885.cms

The overall attendance at the 2010 FIFA World Cup (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/search?q=2010%20FIFA%20World%20Cup) in South Africa (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/search?q=South%20Africa) was the third highest in history, behind the 1994 tournament in the US and the one in 2006 in Germany (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/search?q=Germany), FIFA said on Monday.

A total of 3.18 million fans attended the 64 matches in South Africa, while the average attendance was 49,670, Xinhua reported citing a FIFA statement.

The 1994 World Cup in the US, where 3.59 million people watched the matches, still holds the record. In Germany, 3.36 million supporters attended the tournament four years ago.

You asked where were the spectators. Having been at 10 WC matches, I can assure you, 3,18 million in a long-haul country outside of Europe is quite something. Every match in Cape Town basically sold out.

Typical posts from a Gora.What else can you expect from them :lol:

I heard Goras are jealous of our achievement :lol:

What if the existing seating bowl of the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium were demolished (but its roof and support structure remained intact) and a new seating bowl were created in its place?

For what purpose?

They could put a 20 lane track in there if they wanted. Seems like lowering the surface a couple meters wouldn't be a bad Idea at some point, unless they plan on turning it into a Cricket ground

They could put a 20 lane track in there if they wanted. Seems like lowering the surface a couple meters wouldn't be a bad Idea at some point, unless they plan on turning it into a Cricket ground

From the shape of it, it certainly looks like it will eventually be made into a cricket ground.

It looks as if it's 200m long by 140m wide. Cricket only has to be 140m/130m. No Cricket grounds in the world are that long.

But some are more like 170m or 180m right? I mean there is certainly a range. Kind of crazy to think they could extend the lower tier and still have plenty of space for Cricket, though the width probably couldn't be reduced too much

It is not a cricket ground,Govt has handed over the stadium to AIFF(Football Federation) for hosting Football matches.

Well, a little less than the ideal layout for that, but I suppose the capacity and build quality is good.
