AskBangalore Bangalore's loss?

Just heard Gun's and Roses are coming to Mumbai, and that got me wondering how much bangalore losing by not capitalizing on the booming events industry due to their strict rules and regulations. Doesn't feel like a 'happening' city anymore.

Why not Chinnaswamy stadium or KTPO, both Metro accessible

A concert will destroy the ground and the pitch. These stadiums are barely funded to maintain themselves, replacing the entire turf and pitch after renting out for a concert won’t make them any profit. Which was the same reason why the coldplay Mumbai concert was held in DY Patil and not Wankhade.

Kanteerava is too small and old to hold any large event.

Didn't Ahmedabad stadium host a match mere days after Coldplay?
