Different Rules for Different Sports at the Sports Center!

IslandStats.com
The National Sports Center in Bermuda has recently become a focal point of discussion due to contrasting policies for different sporting events. As the Bermuda Cricket Board prepares to host the Athene T20 KO Cup Final on Sunday, September 29th, at the North Field, an interesting disparity has emerged.

Smoke-Free Cricket, Cigars at Rugby?

The Bermuda Cricket Board has made it clear that the National Sports Center is a smoke-free facility during cricket matches. However, when the World Rugby Classic takes center stage on the same North Field, a different scenario unfolds: spectators have the ability to purchase and enjoy cigars within the stadium.

This divergence in rules has raised eyebrows and prompted questions. If rugby fans can indulge in a smoke during their matches, why shouldn’t cricket fans have the same privilege?

Seeking Clarification

In light of this discrepancy, IslandStats.com reached out to both the Bermuda Cricket Board and the National Sports Center for clarification. We eagerly await their official statements on the matter.

Stay tuned for updates as we strive to understand the rationale behind these distinct policies. Is it a matter of tradition, safety concerns, or something else entirely? We’ll keep you informed as the story develops.


Good Morning Craig,

I have some youngsters updating my website and one has an interesting question regarding the no smoking policy at the National Sports Center.

During last year’s ICC World Cup Qualifiers, I was told, the no smoking policy was put in place as Bermuda was trying to get permission to host some of the World Cup warm-up matches, but when the World Rugby Classic took place fans were allowed to purchase and smoke cigars freely, something that is also allowed at the Port Royal Golf Course a Government facility during the Bermuda PGA Championships.

So the question is - Is it a policy of the National Sports Center or is it a Cricket Board Policy.

The same question and message is being sent to the Cricket Board for a response!
