A Sri Lankan cricket spectator says fans were “treated like animals” by Eden Park security, who confiscated musical instruments and booted out spectators at the New Zealand vs Sri Lanka Twenty20 cricket match on Sunday.
A group of Sri Lankan fans had their drums and flags taken off them ‑ both of which they've used at Eden Park and at previous Twenty20 matches before.
Auckland police could not be reached for comment about their involvement in the occurrence.
Eden Park have not responded to requests for comment on their reasons for forcing the fans out of the stadium, or whether they would likely ban musical instruments for future events.
