The last time the stadium was packed to capacity was when the Great Khali, the WWE superstar, performed a few years ago, says a beaming Rashika Siddiqui, deputy director sports. Siddiqui, a senior official, is shuttling between the two busy venues in Golapar, the swimming complex and the cricket stadium that is hosting packed-to-the-rafters football matches.
