On April 1, not only NC Park but also other stadiums will conduct safety inspections and facility management inspections. In particular, NC Park, where the accident occurred, is expected to conclude when the facilities can be used normally or what measures should be taken, depending on the results of this detailed safety diagnosis. However, since normal precise safety diagnosis takes several days, there is a possibility that this time will also take longer than expected.
