Furthermore, Mangaung Oval has built new flats within the stadium to accommodate up to six provincial and academy contracted players within its structures.
To improve the fan experience at the cricket matches that are held at Mangaung Oval, there will be a number of fan initiatives; free candy floss for scholars, a Chill Freeze Gun, a 10 metre-slip slide foam area and a chance to win an Xbox should a fans bowl out a professional cricket player.
Johan van Heerden, CEO of the Free State Cricket Union said: “The first of its kind, a permanent dugout with jacuzzi. Our players are our biggest assets and we need to spoil them. We also introduced a new honours board for international honours with 100’s and five-wicket hauls recorded. We are 100% ready for the season and we cannot wait.”
