Due to the 2010 Chile earthquake which occurred on February 27 , the government reallocated the committed money for the stadium to the disaster area , to the annoyance of former-mayor Marcela Hernando . On June 2 , the former mayor received a commitment from the National Sports Institute , which would deliver 62.5 % of their promised funding in 2011 and 32.5 % in 2012 . The former Secretary of Sports , Gabriel Ruiz-table , visited the stadium with the mayor , assuring that there would be resources for the remodeling so that the venue could be used for other events in addition to football matches
