The Pilaitė Gymnasium Stadium, covered with an inflatable dome, opened in August last year.

Soccer training takes place on this field.

“It just came to our attention then. A natural disaster, you need to sympathize,” Z. Popov said.

The capital’s deputy mayor, Valdas Benkunskas, says efforts have been made to prevent the disaster from happening.

“In recent days, the school that supervises the handling has consulted with the manufacturers and has taken preventive measures in accordance with their recommendations. The pressure rose, the heating temperature rose, but there was so much snow that the measures agreed with the manufacturer did not work, ”the deputy mayor wrote on Facebook on Wednesday.

Installing the infrastructure cost the Vilnius City Municipality around 2 million. The artificial football surface was donated by the Lithuanian Football Federation.
