Furniture market in stadium

By Qaiser Mohammad Ali, Dhaka, May 12: That most stadiums rent out shops built under the stands is nothing unusual.
But what is interesting at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur, Dhaka, is that most of the occupants of the shops make and sell furniture.


These shops sell both wooden and steel furniture. The others deal in electronic goods, and there are a few tailoring shops too. The income from these shops is used to maintain the stadium.
During the matches all the shops are closed. The markets just outside the stadium, however, are open and they do roaring business on match days.
