There's only one problem with the stadium: there are many bee colonies in places around the stadium. There in the trees in place, while others in the rafters of the stands. But all of them very much and each honeycomb is filled with other winged animals.
When the beast flying out of the nest, the players and match officials had no choice but to lie on the ground until the herd is gone. Meanwhile, spectators running around the stands and try to avoid stings.
The first international match at the stadium, between India and Pakistan in 2005, is also plagued by a crowd of bees, and on one TV commentator game locked up in their glass boxes for bees around the press room.
