More than 100,000 people are expected to attend an event in a cricket stadium honoring President Trump's visit to India hosted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi later this month.

Yahoo Sports reported Wednesday that the stadium, which is expected to seat 110,000 when completed, is still under construction but is set to be completed and filled to the rafters for Trump's Feb. 24 visit to the country.

Trump is set to visit India for two days, where he will attend a speech by Modi called "How Are You Trump" at the massive Sardar Patel Stadium. The stadium, once completed, will overtake Australia's Melbourne Cricket Ground as the biggest cricket stadium in the world.

The president met with Modi late last year in Houston, and attended a "Hello, Modi" event in the city that drew crowds of about 50,000 people, according to media reports.

The security concerns in a 100,000+ person stadium in a foreign country are plenty.

Yes, very scary. There will be Muslims looking to collect the multimillion dollar bounty the Iranians put on his head for starters.

My concern is a stampede where people are trampled.

That'll give Democrats photos and talking points.

Let's hope it's orderly.

I’m sure they’re figure out the security angles. There is intelligent life outside of internet forums.

Then I hope he plans a trip to Greenland.

Actually, the Texas event when Modi visited was called “Howdy Modi” (not Hello Modi) which I thought was classic! It’s probably hard to come up with an equivalent short, appropriate Indian phrase for the Trump visit.

I just hope that Trump does not come back all screwed-up like the Beatles did.

“Sounds like an epic Secret Service nightmare.”

Trump needs to stay in the US until after the election.
