And it looks like the problem will not be fixed anytime soon.

Shortly after the incident, the city found more crumbling steps and as a result blocked off four areas of the stadium.
The Civic Center which runs Victory Stadium has decided no repairs will be made until the citizen's committee makes a recommendation about the future of the facility.
City officials say it makes sense to hold off since the work will come with a hefty price tag.
