RCB final screening at BGS stadium, free auto rides arranged
Bengaluru, June 3 (UNI) With the high-octane IPL clash between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) taking place in Ahmedabad on Tuesday evening, Congress MLA M Krishnappa and his children have organised a largescale public screening at the BGS Stadium here to cater to cricket enthusiasts unable to travel out of the city.
The event, aimed at recreating a stadium-like experience, features giant LED screens measuring 24, 50, and 55 feet, along with multiple 20x10 feet auxiliary displays across the venue. The ground is expected to accommodate a minimum of 20,000 spectators.
"The event is being organised by honourable MLA M Krishnappa, and his children - Priya Krishna and Pradeep Krishnappa. Every effort has been made to give fans the real feel of being inside a stadium," organisers said. The arrangements include live drum performances, DJ shows, and the participation of professional cheer teams known to support RCB at live matches.
In a gesture of fan solidarity, a city auto driver has offered free rides within Bengaluru limits till 6 PM today. "Yes, it's real. Anyone can travel in my auto without paying a single rupee. It's my small tribute to RCB and the spirit of the game," he said.
The event is drawing large fans, with organisers urging attendees to arrive early to secure seats. Security and traffic arrangements have been made in coordination with local authorities.
