NEW STADIUM IN KOWLOON TO BE OPENED
I
The first sports stadium in Kowloon to be operated by the Urban Council will be opened by Mr. A. de O. Sales tomorrow (Saturday).
Formerly known as the Boundary Street Sports Ground, the site was converted into a stadium at a cost of $1,218,000 and renamed Mong Kok Stadium.
Tomorrow's ceremony will include a symbolic "kick-off" to mark
the start of the Urban Council's "Summer Youth Soccer League 173" in which
30 teams will take part.
The stadium has seating capacity for 11,800 people, and it is the council's second stadium, the first being the Hong Kong Stadium on the Island.
The Mong Kok stadium is expected to alleviate greatly the pressure
on the Hong Kong Stadium for professional football matches and other sports.
Note to Editors:
You are welcome to send a reporter/ photographer to cover the opening which is to take place at 3.00 p.m. tomorrow (Saturday).
The stadium is situated between Boundary Street and Flower Market Road.
