It's an artificial turf, but there's no "Chungjinjae"...Gyeonggi-do Province, which turned a blind eye to 'athlete injury'

Players keep getting hurt on the ground. Fractures and other injuries are serious. You have to show good performance, but you have to "buy your body" backwards. That's because there is nothing you need to be. Chung Jin-jae, an essential element of artificial turf, is missing. It has been a long time since the grass replacement cycle has already passed. The Gyeonggi Provincial Government, which is the main management entity, is delaying improvement measures on the pretext of budget.먹튀검증

According to Sports Seoul coverage, more than five cases of injuries, including finger fractures and knee bruises, have been reported in the past year at the 2nd ballpark of Gonjiam Team-Up Campus in Gwangju, Gyeonggi-do. Team-Up Campus is where amateur games such as independent leagues, college baseball and high school baseball are held.

The cause of the injury is clear. There is no filler under the lawn. The filler is an essential material. It plays many roles, but the greatest impact mitigation. Without it, it's just like hitting, running, and sliding on the 'bottom'. The risk of injury is bound to increase. It's not a ballpark, it's an 'injury ground'.
In addition, the stadium has never replaced grass since its establishment in 2016. It has been eight years. It has passed the recommended five-year cycle for replacing artificial turf.

In addition, the lawn of the ballpark should be at least 5.5 centimeters long, but this place is only 3.5 centimeters long. Because it is short, it cannot fill the filler. "The city corporation said that the replacement cycle of artificial turf is eight years," said the sports promotion department of the Gyeonggi Provincial Government, which manages the facility. "It is only recently that the minimum length of artificial turf has been set. There were no special regulations at the time of construction," he said.

Not only high school baseball but also independent baseball teams have withdrawn their game schedules. The Gyeonggi Baseball Softball Association said, "We have requested the Gyeonggi Provincial Government to replace grass and replenish fillers several times. However, people say that we have no budget."

"It's too dangerous. We can't guarantee the safety of players. The association excluded all the games that were scheduled to be held at the stadium from the schedule," he said. He declared that he would not use it. He almost said that he would not use it because he was so scared.

The Gyeonggi-do Sports Promotion Division explained, "Even if you apply to the budget office, it costs too much to replace the grass. It is not easy to approve." In fact, it seems that they will not take measures to improve it.
The sports promotion department of the Gyeonggi Provincial Government denied the fact itself, saying, "There will be no baseball stadium without fillers." However, when asked to confirm the main page, he changed his words, saying, "It is right that there is no fillers." Photo | Gyeonggi Provincial Government

There are desperate voices on the scene that they can no longer endure it. A high school baseball leader criticized, "When players slide in the stadium, their knees and thighs are covered with wounds. As a leader, player injuries are fatal," adding, "If the grass cannot be replaced, it is right not to play here. The most questionable is that several players are injured, but the Gyeonggi Provincial Government is not showing up at the scene. It is more like a table administration."

An independent baseball official also said, "Even now, there is no stadium to schedule games. We have to rent a high school baseball stadium to handle the schedule. It is true that the confusion has increased as the team-up campus has been eliminated," and added, "We need to make a decision as soon as possible at the Gyeonggi-do level. We have passed the grass replacement cycle, and we know there are no fillers, but why aren't we moving?"

The Sports Promotion Division of the Gyeonggi Provincial Government said, "We will secure the budget again to replenish fillers and replace grasses as soon as possible. We will repair grasses as soon as possible."
