Regarding the High Prosecutor's Office's rejection of the city government's reconsideration, the city government responded that criminal liability, administrative liability and project performance responsibility are issues at different levels. The Board of Control also proposed corrections in July this year, classifying the baseball stadium as a "major violation" and did not disappear due to a lack of prosecution. If the city government should seek compensation from manufacturers, it will continue to handle it in accordance with civil and contract procedures. At present, the baseball field improvement project has been completed, and the stadium has also held its first friendly match. It hopes to allow players to return to the field with peace of mind and allow fans to enter the stadium again.
