Patna: Cricket enthusiasts in Patna are in for a treat as the Indian Premier League (IPL) Fan Park gears up to offer a larger-than-life cricket experience on the big screen. Set to take place at Jagjivan Stadium in Patna, the event promises to captivate audiences with the thrill of live IPL matches on May 4 and 5.
Selected as the exclusive venue from Bihar, the IPL Fan Park is part of a nationwide initiative spanning 50 cities, organized by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Entry to this exciting event is entirely free, offering families and friends the opportunity to come together and soak in the electrifying atmosphere of IPL cricket.
The festivities at the fan park extend beyond mere match viewing, with a range of engaging activities planned for attendees. Various zones, including the Kids Corner, Family Zone, and Food and Beverage Zone, ensure that there’s something for everyone. Special provisions catering to children and senior citizens, as well as recreational options for youth, are also on the agenda.
Ensuring the safety and comfort of all attendees, the event will be bolstered by police support and comprehensive security measures. Bowling enthusiasts can showcase their skills on bowling machines, adding an interactive element to the cricket extravaganza. Additionally, medical facilities, ambulance services, and fire vehicles will be on standby to address any emergencies.
Highlighting the upcoming matches, Royal Challengers Bangalore will take on Gujarat Titans on May 4, while Kings XI Punjab will clash with Chennai Super Kings on May 5. Lucknow Super Giants will face Kolkata Knight Riders on the same day. Gates to the fan park will open at 2:30 pm and 6:30 pm on both match days, allowing ample time for spectators to settle in and enjoy the action.
Speaking on the initiative, BCCI representative Avin Gaikwad emphasized the aim of bringing the stadium-like experience to cities without cricket stadiums or IPL matches. The fan park serves as a platform for cricket aficionados to immerse themselves in the excitement of live matches, cheering for their favorite teams and players in a vibrant communal setting.
