Besides its controversial city hall opening in 2010, Tagum City will also be putting up an impressive sports complex in the near future. I’d love to say soon, but 10 years isn’t really in the “soon” range.
As you can see in the pictures, the sports complex has a robotic touch to it much like its city hall brother (or sister, if you wish). It must be the same architect, or maybe, Tagum just wants its buildings this way. Some say this complex will to host the SEA Games when completed.
Estimated at P270-million** the sports complex is expected to be completed by 2010***. It will include a 10,000**** capacity grandstand and bleachers, eight-lane rubberized track and field oval, olympic-sized swimming pool, basketball, volleyball and lawn tennis courts plus other support facilities and infrastructures. – RG Alama, PIA Daily News Reader, 2008/04/05
** I personally doubt this budget is enough for a project this big. Some say it must cost around Php 10B, which is actually more believable.I
*** This report is supposedly from the Philippine Information Agency, but the target date is impossible. They must have realized this so they moved it 10 years after. Woah, pretty looong move.
**** Araneta Coliseum is still bigger with 25000 seats
Honestly, it’s quite ambitious for a small and developing city, but I can’t see anything but good coming in for this project.
