At the moment the field has already been prepared for the tournament. Also the fencing around the field has been repaired. MNO is working hard to finalize painting up the complete bleacher building and repair the existing toilets to host the tournament. MNO is also working hard in close cooperation with the Ministry of VROMI to find a solution for the broken field lighting. As a part of the bigger renovation of the complete complex the works on the wall surrounding the complex are presently being executed as well. The new construction will also include a new bleacher building on the left field line which will include access for the handicapped. The field will also be outfitted with permanent grass, an office building and concessions building will also be renovated.
Belvedere Sportsfield:
Due to the planned renovations on RISC and Little League Ball Park, MNO is preparing an alternative location for sport clubs to practice. A suitable location has been designated in Belvedere, next to the Cruyff Court known as the Belvedere Sports field.
MNO is currently cleaning the field and surrounding areas to make it usable again. Two removable football goals will also be placed on the field, so it can be used for both football and baseball activities during the coming months. The clean-up works are scheduled to be completed by mid-next week. For the period of time that RISC is under construction, the Sports field will be maintained by MNO.
The Belvedere Community will also have access to this playing field.
