Royal Challengers Bengaluru are facing uncertainty over the venue for their home matches in the upcoming season, with the final decision pending. To ensure their matches remain at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, the franchise has proposed installing 300-350 AI-enabled cameras at the venue at an estimated cost of ₹4.50 crore for crowd management. RCB made the proposal in an official communication to the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA), stating that the advanced surveillance technology will enhance crowd safety and security.
After a tragic stampede outside the stadium during last year’s title-winning celebrations, RCB has been under scrutiny. The state government has refused permission for matches at the stadium due to safety concerns. In response, RCB has partnered with technology company Staqu to introduce facial recognition technology and intelligent monitoring systems at the stadium to improve crowd management and safety standards.
The integration of this advanced technology is aimed at providing a safe and secure matchday experience for all fans. RCB remains committed to ensuring fan safety and enhancing overall security measures at the venue.
