VB,
You right, Skinner Park should be there. At one time that was the second stadium in TT. Enough great games between North/South, Intercol, FA, SFA/SFL, and also international matches etc, etc use to take place. Now it is a concert hall.

I think you get a more accurate list of the TnT stadiums with the above mentioned link. Hell if they can list all the US "american football first stadiums" with their very visible outlines then we can list all of our stadiums including the QP Oval.

Supposedly the gov't poured some money into the upgrading the pitch for this match. I think the physical facilities might still be in need of upgrading though. What are the stadia like where you are...obviously the first division (Eredivisie) teams will be playing at top notch venues...but what of the lower levels?
-
The ground looks good! 8)
out of 10 on a Pitch scale... I would give it a 6... You wanna tell me what so hard into planting turf into areas like the corner flags and off the field and water and fertilize it till it grow? Them had so many weeks to make it lush and green... a next shit ting they do .. they cut the grass to low .. so their isn't a cushion... f**king amateurs

;D surely Jamaica has more than one stadium.
Jamaica has NO football specific stadia. The national stadium in Kingston is an all-purpose stadium that serves as the islands main football facility, and has a seating capacity of 35K. The Trelawny multi-purpose stadium below (25K) which was built to host the opening ceremony of cricket world cup in 2007 represents the other major stadium, will see international football games starting with the Bahamas later this month. Sabina Park could also possibly host football games

Fifa gives Hasely Crawford Stadium the nod.
By: Shari John (T&T Guardian).
The Fifa delegation, consisting of Oliver Vogt (Competitions) and Sonia Denoncourt (senior manager refereeing) has given this country a nod of approval after their three day inspection of 14 training facilities that may be used by teams during the 2010 Fifa Under-17 Women’s World Cup here.
Speaking at a brief press conference held at the Concacaf office, Edward Street, Port-of, Spain, Vogt explained that T&T was well on track with its preparations and apart from a few minor details he had no doubt that everything would be completed on time.
“The past three days have been very fruitful, we inspected 14 training sites and out of these we will chose 12.”
Four sites were already chosen in Tobago in February. “Of the 14, we still need some things done such as the upgrade of the pitch to Fifa requirements, but we are very confident that we will have excellent facilities when we return for the World Cup,” Vogt said.
It is also his hope that most of the preparations are close to be completed by the end of April 2010, to facilitate the World Cup draw which takes place on May 8 in which representatives from all 16 qualifying teams will also be in T&T to also conduct their own inspections of the facilities.
Denoncourt, who’s duty concerns the referees, complemented the LOC for it’s organisation where the inspection was concerned and shared that she has chosen the Hyatt as the referees headquarters and will recommend the Hasley Crawford Stadium as the training pitch for the referees.
“We are obviously very satisfied with the stadium, it is one of the best I have seen in the area,” she said. She said the referee delegation will consist of 60 people, including 42 referees and assistant referees.
“There will be 60 people, 42 of whom will be women referees and assistant referees in total from all over the world and hopefully a couple for Trinidad.” T&T boasts two Fifa certified referees in Shane De Silva and Cindy Mohammed who worked in the 2008 Women’s World Cup in Chile.

Fields of fading dreams
By Garth Wattley (T&T Express)
There was much to observe Sunday afternoon in Mucurapo. That’s where the facility now known as the Hasely Crawford Stadium was playing host to a practice match between the Trinidad and Tobago football team and St Martin.
In its original incarnation, the place was just called the National Stadium, until the powers that be saw it fit to give the country’s first Olympic champion official recognition.
But whatever its name, the stadium has been home to many matches like Sunday’s, since the late Prime Minister George Chambers opened it in June, 1982. That’s nearly 41 years ago. I’ll return to that detail a little later.
However, Sunday was my first time watching a national team play “live” in many a year. The absence was largely by choice, but last weekend, professional duty demanded that I check out the match.
I got much to think about.
There was entertainment even before kick-off. The soca music blaring out of the speaker boxes of the house deejay was a little too loud for casual conversation. But it seemed ideal background for the match officials’ warm-up routine. Yes, they warm up too!
I watched as referee Kwinsi Williams and his two assistants, Ainsley Rochard and Kirt Charles stretched in rhythm to the music. Their movements seemed choreographed, the assistants revolving around their leader and taking their cues from him, all to the vocals of Bunji Garlin and company.
To their left and right, the two teams had formed circles for a kick-about, one touch stuff. I once had the opportunity to see Lionel Messi involved in one of those sessions when he was still at Barcelona, and marvelled at the precision of those players. Not once was a second touch required as the ball pinged from boot to boot at the Camp Nou. Sunday in the Stadium though, the ball got through the T&T and St Martin circles more than once.
Up in the stands, an older couple had settled in seats across the aisle from me. I don’t know if they were paying attention to the warm-ups but the music was certainly getting to Mother, whose right foot was tapping out a discreet rhythm. It was good to see the older ones having a sporting evening out. I wondered whether they had family in the T&T squad. A grandson maybe?
The same family thought went through my mind about the young woman bouncing her baby on her knee to the soca, early o’clock.
Apart from them, a number of pre-teens filtered in with fathers and mothers and fathers. This was just a practice match, with nothing at stake other than much-needed game time for the T&T players.
But by the time the contest had got to half-way, close to three-quarters of the approximately 6,000 capacity main stand, which the Football Association had opened to the public, was occupied.
It was a well-behaved crowd too. The place was almost golf course quiet during the first half when no goals were scored and few shots were taken.
However, 20 minutes into the second period with no change in score, a man in the back piped up:”Leh we go! Leh we go!”
Point to me was though, that people could still enjoy their sport in peace despite the turbulent times here. Sporting occasions can still be good family time. The little girl chirping in the back of me was certainly getting into the match. She seemed to have a liking for “M-bappe,” although he was not playing in this game.
Soon enough though, Kadeem Corbin’s opening goal gave her and “Leh We Go” something to cheer and with ten minutes to play, substitute Real Gill added to their satisfaction. Minutes earlier, Gill evoked howls from the stand when he shot wide of an open goal. At least he made the place sound like a sports arena.
By the final whistle, the eight T&T substitutes had contributed to a more incisive performance and a win that everyone could go away reasonably content with. Professional duty caused me to journey across to the eastern end of the facility for post-match interviews. When they were done, nature began to call, urgently.
I searched for a washroom but it was a task finding one that was suitable for use. At last I wandered into an unused dressing room that I could negotiate. The smell in there was less pungent than a previous room I had tried.
The state of disrepair witnessed was not at all pleasant. But it gelled with what I had noticed in the main stand. All the booths at the top of that stand bar one had been gutted, and looked like a wasteland of broken toilets and rotted wood. Down below, more than once, I saw patrons testing seats to make sure they wouldn’t give way beneath them.
I asked myself, why?
Why is it that, not for the first time, this venue, the principal sporting location in this country where Ato Boldon ran and the “Soca Warriors” played on their way to the World Cup in Germany, 2006; has to undergo a major makeover? Why is it that neighbouring Jean Pierre Complex is now a not-so grand old lady, condemned to the “grave”?
This couldn’t be what “Father of the Nation” Eric Williams envisioned when the Jean Pierre was opened in 1979, nor what PM Chambers foresaw back in ’82 for the National Stadium?
Dear reader, I’m sure you personally have fond sport or culture memories of both those places. The Hasely Crawford and Jean Pierre have become part of your personal history. But the Jean Pierre will make no more memories for you now.
A part of T&T history will also go with that place when it is torn down. The new facility will make its own stories.
But there must be something fundamentally wrong when in islands as small as these, facilities reach the point of no return in about 40 years. Isn’t it a waste of money to build and not preserve?
The other newer stadia —the Larry Gomes, Manny Ramjohn and Ato Boldon are also in sorry states. So despite the pleasantness of the afternoon,
I left Mucurapo with a heavy heart, silently lamenting how easily we throw away what is ours; how often we mistreat ourselves.

Udecott: Hasely Crawford Stadium to return to 'pristine glory days'.
T&T Newsday Reports.
The Urban Development Corporation of Trinidad and Tobago Limited (Udecott) is promising a return of the Hasely Crawford Stadium "to its once pristine glory days."
Udecottt made the vow in a press release on Tuesday as it gave an update to its $70 million refurbishments works ahead of TT's hosting of the Commonwealth Youth Games, from August 4-11.
Over 1,000 athletes from 71 countries will be arriving in TT to compete in seven disciplines.
Udecott said it has been moving apace since work began on January 16 and the project is well on track to be completed on schedule by June 30.
The Hasely Crawford Stadium is listed to host the athletics events of the games.
Swimming (National Aquatics Centre, Couva); cycling (National Cycling Velodrome, Couva); beach volleyball (Pigeon Point beach); Fast5 netball (Shaw Park Sporting Complex); Rugby 7s (Shaw Park Ground); and triathlon (Buccoo) will be held at other facilities.
Udecott said it was first given a mandate by the Cabinet to assess the state of the stadium.
"A team of engineers, architects and quantity surveyors was mobilised and conducted a conditions assessment, which captured the structural, mechanical, electrical, civil, architectural and plumbing issues which needed to be fixed. Based on the findings a scope of works was developed."
The Hasely Crawford Stadium was opened on June 12, 1982. It falls under the purview of the Ministry of Sport and Community Development and the Sports Company, and has been significantly utilised for the hosting of a number of sporting and cultural events. While maintenance was previously carried out at the facility, Udecott said its physical condition deteriorated. It said the stadium was also severely affected by the harsh marine environment and prevailing winds.
The stadium is expected to be under the spotlight in 2025 when TT hosts the Carifta Games.
Udecott scope of works:
Structural Engineering Works:
Structural Steel bracing;
Hydro blasting and painting to existing steel works;
Ditto (Bleachers);
Removal of existing joint sealant and replacement with new approved sealant to Main Stand and bays of bleachers;
