The football pitch at Liepāja's stadium has been restored less than two weeks after the Prāta Vētra concert caused damage to the turf. Heavy equipment used during the event left the playing surface in need of repair. Although the concert itself was a success, the footprint of the machinery was clearly visible. The restoration works were carried out promptly, with the total cost amounting to just under €17,000. Representatives of the local football club 'Liepāja' said that the pitch is now in even better condition than it was before the concert. This ensures that the stadium is fully ready for upcoming matches and other events. The quick recovery highlights the importance of maintaining sports infrastructure and the ability to address issues efficiently after large-scale cultural events. The club expressed satisfaction with the outcome, noting that the pitch quality is crucial for professional football. This incident serves as a reminder that event organisers and clubs need to coordinate carefully to protect playing surfaces during non-sporting events.
