AFG vs NED Entry Gates
In addition to the five main entrance gates, there are twenty-five entry points into the stands. Access to Gate No. 3 is frequently restricted to players and VIPs. Unlike most Indian stadiums, the main arena is easily accessible by car and bus thanks to the peripheral road that encircles it. Still, crowd management will be necessary on busy match days in order to maintain the tunnel’s vehicular access. 500 spots are available for parking for two-wheelers and four-wheelers at different locations.
Although there is no metro link to the stadium in Lucknow, buses go to the main connecting route, Amar Shaheed Path. E-rickshaws and shuttle services are also considered for fan mobility on game days.
AFG vs NED Boundary Length
The Ekana Stadium in Lucknow is the third-largest stadium in India and the sixth-largest stadium globally, when compared to the majority of other venues in the country. Its border is likewise somewhat bigger.
This stadium has the longest straight boundaries of any in India. The lengths of the square and straight borders are greater than 70 yards, while the distances between them and the centre pitch are greater than 75 yards.
Batters will have to work hard to accumulate runs in this stadium because, unlike most Indian grounds, soaring smashes that clear the infield might not get towards the boundary.
AFG vs NED Seating Capacity
The Ekana Stadium can accommodate up to 50,000 spectators. There is a notable distinction in the seating capacities of NED and SL. The general stands on the east and west ends have 44,296 seats, while the hospitality areas on the north and south ends house the remaining seats.
2,716 seats are designated for closed hospitality areas, and about 3,390 seats are reserved for semi-hospitality (open President’s Stand) sections. Most importantly, every fan at Ekana is guaranteed an unobstructed view because there are neither pillars nor sight screens there.
AFG vs NED Pitch Report
Following the draw in the Twenty20 International between New Zealand and India, Hardik Pandya referred to the ground at Ekana Stadium as a “shocker.” This resulted in the field receiving criticism. After that, Surendra Yadav was replaced as curator by Sanjeev Agarwal. After the 2023 Indian Premier League season, the surface underwent significant upgrades.
Images of the center’s complete excavation were shared on social media, showcasing the accumulation of salt. Agarwal employed a nontoxic acid called terreplex during a 14-day period to dissolve calcified deposits and adjust the pH of the soil. The pitch is composed of three layers: an eight-inch layer of cricketing soil, an intermediate layer, and a coarse dirt base.
