More than 800 athletes along with sporting officials from 28 countries are expected to be in Grenada for the Games, which will comprise of 6 sessions. Chairman of the LOC has given the assurance that it will be one of the best Games. “We as a committee are working very hard to present to the Caribbean, a Games, when talked about, positive things will be said,” Bruno-Victor said in her update to the media.

In the area of tickets, it was announced that some areas of the stadium are already sold out, and because the rules and regulations for international games will apply, guarantee to entry will only be a ticket.

“The security aspect will be fully enforced and adopted, and there will be no standing in the main pavilion,” said George Cherubin, who is a member of the media committee. He further explained that Grenada’s failure to not comply with the rules can have negative consequences for future games.

The stadium has a seating capacity of 7,026.
