Translated from Spanish, summarized and contextualized by DistantNews.
TLDR
- The playing field and lighting at the Ramón Tahuichi Aguilera stadium are in poor condition, evident during a recent match.
- Despite recent rest for the grass, the field remains uneven, impacting gameplay.
- Urgent repairs are needed before an upcoming international match on May 7th.
The state of the Ramón Tahuichi Aguilera stadium, a source of pride for Santa Cruz, has once again become a focal point of public criticism. The recent match between Oriente Petrolero and Real Tomayapo highlighted the persistent issues with both the playing field and the lighting system. It is deeply disappointing to see the stadium, which underwent renovations with the explicit goal of improving these very aspects, still failing to meet basic standards.
The condition of the pitch, even after a six-day rest period intended for recovery, was noticeably irregular. This not only affects the quality of the game for players and spectators but also raises serious questions about the stadium's suitability for hosting international competitions. The recurring lighting failures, including a power outage during the recent match, further exacerbate the problem, disrupting the spectacle and causing frustration.
With Blooming scheduled to host Bragantino in the Copa Sudamericana on May 7th, the pressure is on stadium authorities to implement immediate and effective solutions. This situation is particularly concerning for local football fans who expect their premier stadium to be in top condition, especially when representing the region on an international stage. The continued neglect of these essential facilities is unacceptable and demands swift action.
