We have seen this in the U.S. at times. I recall the SF State track not taken care of in the 1970s, but now a wonderful fixture. Sad to see Crystal Palace, which dates back to Queen Victoria, a long time host to brilliant athletics events, being unsafe.

Concrete pillars supporting the floodlights in the arena have been deemed “unsafe,” with the operators of the sports center announcing the emergency closure last Friday (Nov 18). Since then, parts of the park have been reopened with an “exclusion zone” in another area.
