Ahmedabad: World’s largest Cricket stadium .. President Trump to Inaugurate
As part of his state visit to India on February 24-45, United States President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will jointly inaugurate the Motera Stadium in Ahmedabad. Built at a cost of Rs 700 crore, the new structure has a seating capacity of 1,10,000 spectators.
The stadium was built after demolishing the previous 53000-seater Motera Stadium in 2015.
Media reports say that both leaders will address a massive rally in the stadium. A program called, “Kem Chho Trump” will be held in the stadium where both Trump and Modi will address a gathering of about 1.25 lakh.
Addressing the media about his state visit, Trump jokingly said that “he is not going to feel good” as he has not addressed such large crowds before.
“He (Modi) said we will have millions and millions of people. My only problem is that last night we probably had 40 or 50,000 people… I’m not going to feel so good… There will be five to seven million people just from the airport to the new stadium (in Ahmedabad),” Trump said.
