Every sport has a specific season and that game is played particularly at that time. But, sporting action never stops. There's cricket, football, hockey, tennis, kabbaddi etc ready to entertain us all the time. One season of a sport ends and makes way for another. What we all are assured is excitement and action throughout the year. Television does act as a savior when we are off season for a particular sport but, the real joy of enjoying a game is at the stadium amidst oceans of people screaming in support of our favorite team, just beside the pitch- live and happening all in front of us!
The ecstasy of witnessing a final ball six or the experience of the thrill of a last minute equalizer is unparallel. No TV in the world can emulate that joy. No highlight show is going to replicate that spectacle. Yes, there are over a hundred cameras bringing every angle just for you, but that passion felt when your favorite team wins cannot be found elsewhere. In fact, that spectacle of the winning goal witnessed live stays in your memories forever, after all, that rush of blood to the brain cannot be explained. We witness that rarely and it's precisely the reason why it stays with us, that's the magnanimous beauty of it!
There is nothing more enthralling than watching a match live as it happens. And the best of it can be experienced in a city like Mumbai. Sports in Mumbai is not a pass time, its passion of unadulterated kind. People love playing and in case they can't, they make sure that they go watch it in front of their eyes and make their presence felt. Sports of international level has always been synonymous with this city. That's why we find a lot of world class stadiums in Mumbai that are considered as the very best by plaudits and critics alike.
Many people across the globe know stadiums like Brabourne and Wankhede- the cricketing hubs of Mumbai- because of the fame they have. These stadiums have hosted some magnanimous matches that are still etched in our memories. But there are massive football stadiums and grounds as well that have a history and legacy that has been made out of some intense rivalries. For the people who wish to sit back at home and watch television for sports, they must get to the stadium once to experience magic of a sublime kind.
