History
The APL Arena is one of Micras' oldest buildings, dating back to antiquity. APL Arena, which has the distinction of being the first reinforced concrete building whose foundation was laid in 2000, was put into service in 2001 under the rule of Shireroth. At that time, there was no proper sports activity and it was used for gladiators. At that time, the stadium consisted of a single tribune. At that time it was a popular haunt for Tymarian rituals.
Technology was developing rapidly and the structure was getting old as it got older. At that time, the FMF was newly formed. The worn-out gladiator arena was reorganized in 2006 so that Shireroth would not fall behind in football. Another grandstand was built and a rudimentary scoreboard added, the ground was grassed for the first time, but three months later the lawn was completely gone.
In 2011 the FMF World Cup was in Shireroth, but it was not chosen from the venues as the stadium is really far from the mainland. In 2012, cracks began to appear in the building and the first tribune could no longer stand. The Shireroth government at that time did not care much about the event, and the city was not too keen on demolishing it due to its historical structure. In the fall of 2012, the grandstand suddenly collapsed at midnight, killing eight people. The administration rebuilt the tribune in about a month and a half and built an administrative building next to the stadium.
In 2014, the stadium was fully seated, but the seat spacing was always narrow. During a friendly match in mid-2014, an accident occurred in the stands and two hundred people lost their lives. The stadium was able to fill half capacity until 2016.
There was internal turmoil in those years under Shireroth and the administration passed to Jexit. In 2016, the seats were replaced by Jexit authorities and the distance problem was solved. Ten clubs of the amateur stratum of the Jexit league played in this stadium, the grass was completely destroyed in those years and artificial turf was planted in its place.
In 2017, there was another accident at the stadium and this time no one was injured. The Jingdao administration closed the stadium for two weeks to investigate the incident and suspended football hungry. Jingdao management said that the problems were caused by the ins and outs, but the project has been canceled since War of Last Brothers broke out. Fortunately, the stadium was not damaged in the war.
