Yankees supporters are used to the fact that the Dodger Stadium is enemy soil, but of a part of concrete that falls from the stadium ceiling lies above what steel is to meet.
This is indeed a Yankees fan who happened to him at the Dodgers Yanke's game on Friday.
Ricardo Aquino from Mexico city told The Athletic about a translator that a piece of the ceiling hit him in the back while he was sitting on the upper deck of the stadium during the third inning in the game. A photo showed that the piece is about the size of a baseball.
Aquino said that he was in pain but applied an ice pack and applied in the rest of the game, which the Dodgers ultimately won 8: 5, the news agency reported.
A day later, a concrete network was installed in the area of the ceiling in section 10 reserve, in which the incident was reported, the Times confirmed.
“Last weekend we had specialists and experts in the Dodger Stadium to examine the facility and to ensure their security,” Dodger's Ally Salvage spokesman told The Times. “We will also carry out a long -term review.”
Dodger Stadium, which was opened in 1962, is the oldest baseball stadium of the Major League west of the Mississippi and the third oldest in the country after Fenway Park in Boston and Wrigley Field in Chicago also had problems with the old concrete.
In July 2004 there were three reports on concrete chunks from the upper deck in Wrigley Field, which caused the Chicago Cubs to install the infrastructure of the stadium of protection for the protection and review of the stadium.
Before the 2020 season, an important renovation project of $ 100 million was completed in the Dodger Stadium. It included a new Center Field Plaza with food and entertainment areas, more elevators and new bridges, with which fans can run the entire scope of the stadium from any level within the event location.
Further renovation work was completed in the run -up to this year, this time focused on improving the clubhouse.
