in 1987, 13,000 seats were added with the construction of the north grandstand. similar to the south stand, this structure included a cantilevered steel roof covering a portion of the lower seats. the project made headlines on february 25, 1987, when the grandstand collapsed during construction as a result of miscommunication between the workers and the contractor, which lead to the premature removal during the intended replacement of several support cables. although there were no casualties, property damage ranged from $500,000 to $1 million and resulted in setbacks.
