Cuban fans concerned about the deterioration of the Matanzas baseball stadium

Cuban fans expressed their concern about the deterioration of the Victoria de Girón stadium in Matanzas, where the government is placing new lights on structures in apparent danger of collapse.

A specialist in the Facebook group "MATANZAS: NATIONAL CHAMPIONS CROCODILES!!! Series 59!" pointed out that, although the province's ball stadium is a beautiful sports facility, in it "not everything that glitters is gold."

He explained that his concern lies in the fact that they are providing "first-class lighting" to towers "whose structure, under several coats of paint year after year, leaves much to be desired."

"The concrete of many of them is fallen revealing its steel structure (rebars) in full rust and deterioration. Could it be that some qualified construction company has ruled that these towers are not in danger of collapsing?" asked the Internet user.

The fan of Matanzas Crocodiles He assured that he knows nothing about it but recalled the case of the city's basketball stadium, whose roof, "game after game leaked, wetting the court, stopping the games on several occasions, and rust was also observed on its metal structures."

He said that "this is how time passed until the athenaeum collapsed, fortunately without an audience inside." "That's why I'm worried about the state of the towers and not having to regret a disastrous event in the not-too-distant future," he said.
