Goodevening, I am TJ Dignadice from the Makati Development Corporation. Just to clarify the structures at the bleachers of the RMS, they are not meant for the construction of a second level. The Ayala Group of Companies will be having its Olympics this Saturday, April 21. The scaffoldings are meant to serve as a "temporary shelter" to protect the employees from the heat of the sun during the event. The structures shall be taken down immediately after. Thanks for reading.

Thanks for reading. Thanks for clarifying TJ. We're mostly guessing that this is some roofing for the bleachers and not a framework for a second level of the bleachers. Anyways, I'm just picking up speculations from all around social media that after the June friendlies, Rizal Memorial shall be closed again for a major reconstruction of the stadium in preparation for a friendly match in October, and the AFF Suzuki Cup. Four months is quite a short period for a full reconstruction but I hope it'll be worth it.

stellarboyThat info was also in the news reports that RMS will be closed again for major renovation like increasing the seating capacity. The question is could they make it in the span of 4 months? Since on October they might use it again for friendlies here. I hope they can do it

any news on RMS' status at the moment? I hope pitch conditions would be a lot better than during the Malaysia game.

Is the pitch already transferred to artificial pitch? Huge development will start after Independence Day matches.

RMS Update May 20 4pm Let me compare that to the same pitch on Feb 20: I'm not really sure if this is artificial turf, as there are little uneven patches on the edges. I'm pretty sure they just replanted or recultivated the grass. This is something worrying.

On Azkals FB, the Admin said the artificial pitch will be put there in July replacing the natural grass.

Its kinda hard to tell what the pitch condition is from the above photo. It looks decent. I don't understand why its so hard for us to maintain the pitch. I think the last time the pitch at Rizal looked great was against Kuwait. The 2 english commentators from the match last night said the pitch at Rizal was dreadful.
