PCB eyes mega stadium in capital

The stadium will be Shaheed Before it gets build! Rawal Lake stadium Sounds a good name, Since its near Rawal Lake i guess.
 
Don't know what happened to the plans for building stadiums in gilgit and swat and upgrading abbottabad to hold international matches? i think it would have helped tourism in those areas and cricket would be possible even in summer.
 
The name of the stadium most likely will be Bilawal Stadium or Shahed Benazir stadium. Its strange. In Pakistan we call those who die while grabbing power as 'Shaheeds'.
 
Pathetic Zardari thinks hes running democracy while hes a dictator who orders parliament and aint elected by people!
 
Idea of naming YET another National project after Banezir offends me. How many projects should be name "Banezir" before PPP feels satisfied? These are Pakistan's Projects, not Pakistan People Party's Projects. Its made with the money of Pakistanis who are not necessarily PPP Supporters. At the moment National Money is given after Party Leader, (Banezir Income Support Program), the Hospital where she died, the park where she had spoken, the airport which is being built and now sports? Why the holy heck?

She was corrupt, a security threat to country at her times.. listen what ex-ISI and military generals are revealing and what had made them act against Banezir then. Its actually enough tolerance that we are accepting to stay quiet on her wrong-doings because she is no more but expecting countrymen to appreciate 74th project named after her is actually an offense in itself.

Its a typical feudal mentality. Its an irony that feudals run our democracy show. I agree with all points you raised about Benazir. She had not done anything for the country except corruption.
 
i call it a daylight balathkaar......this is insane. The lady is long gone but her evil forces still using her name for political edge.

I have been listening about this proposed stadium in I9 park since last 20 years. My question is why should we deprive people of Islamabad from their only park.

This only money making scam nothing else. PCB should improve the existing cricket grounds first. Infact you cannot pull more crowds in any other city than karachi and lahore. My two pennies.
 
I thought it was called 'Jinnah Stadium' or is that the name for the hockey stadium only?
 
Combined Population of Islamabad and Pindi is close to 4 million. The combined population of Karachi and Hyderabad is over 20 million. If we are to build a Mega Stadium, it should be in Karachi which has a higher Population base to support a mega Stadium.
 
Well when the construction goona start? n when it'll b complete? n any pics of construction site?

Islamabad doesnt has any so it need.
 
Why don't we name the whole fukin country Benaziristan???

Benazir airport, Benazir hospital, benazir road, benazir school, etc etc. To hell with it.

There has to be a limit, a couple of places, a hospital in her dedication would have been all right, but this is getting outrageous.

Whoever comes next, please please please re-name the airports and stadiums etc etc to more better names. What is wrong with simply Islamabad Stadium?

(sorry for the language :oops:, but this whole dynastic renaming is just outrageous.)

Had it been from PPP pockets or by the stolen money of Zardari, it would have been alright, but this Pakistani taxpayer money going into the project.

I disagree.

When JFK was assassinated, USA renamed the New York Airport after him, they renamed the NASA launch site after him and many other parks and monouments, streets and roads.

He was a beloved President. Benazir was also beloved by many Pakistanis.

I don't think there is anything wrong with this.

Btw, why are they constructing this massive stadium when no foreign team has played in Pakistan in Years.

Agreed! We could be better off rebuilding National Stadium in Karachi and one or two in the north of the country. Stadia in the north of the country may give us all year round cricket opportunity.

You mean F-9 park?
