Then again, in a story the accompanying week, Reuters, with the backing of the Chinese government, reported that just two specialists had kicked the bucket. Every one of the 110,000 tons of steel were made in China. On 14 May 2008 the grass field of 7,811 square meters was laid in 24 hours. The field is a particular turf framework by Greentech ITM.
