A person coming to the Wankhede Stadium for the first time may not identify with the iconic North Stand since there is no signage. However, the section’s characteristics are very much intact. 

It undoubtedly remains the noisiest stand at the Wankhede. There is banter, chants and slogans for each player and the spectators are relentless until the player acknowledges them. When the AR Rehman hit Vande Mataram is sung in unison, it can give anyone goosebumps. The famous Mexican wave is a favourite. The fans here feel they are part of the Indian team and believe in creating an atmosphere that motivates the players to bring out something extra.
