SANTO DOMINGO. – The Minister of Sports and Recreation, Kelvin Cruz , and the Director General of the National Office of Seismic Evaluation and Vulnerability of Infrastructure and Buildings (Onesvie) , Leonardo Reyes Madera , announced the start of a national evaluation plan for all sports facilities in the country.

Cruz assured that he has been monitoring the structure of the sports facilities, as he did a few weeks ago with the roof of the Gran Arena del Cibao in Santiago .
“Today we are here at Quisqueya Stadium, following up on the structural issues, so that the Onesvie technicians can have a more complete overview of the technical and structural aspects, to avoid any type of risk or danger, and above all for the peace of mind of baseball fans and athletes,” the official noted.
“Onesvie has five delegations that allow us to go to each of the provinces of the country and take surveys of the current state of these buildings and make the corresponding suggestions from the point of view of reinforcement if necessary,” said Reyes Madera.
During his tour of Quisqueya Park, Cruz received some explanations from Parmenio Rodríguez , the stadium's Operations Manager for the Tigres del Licey team.
