A total of Rs 60 lakh will be kept aside for carrying out promotional activities during the game.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>A presentation was made to the BCCI by the CAB where it proposed initiatives such as &lsquo;Fans of the Eden&rsquo; where spectators can register themselves and then get a certificate which states he\/she is a true fan of the game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Other proposed plans include the likes of free Wi-Fi, a separate kids arena and organising shows where local bands will perform during lunch break.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Also if a fan is celebrating his\/her birthday during the match days, he\/she might be shown on the giant screen on submission of authentic documents.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&ldquo;The initiatives are tentative and indicative and firm plans will only be made once the financial and other impacts are worked out and approved by the association,&rdquo; CAB joint secretary Avishek Dalmiya said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Agency.<\/p>\r\n",
