On Friday, 7News told you about social Activist Yaya Marin-Coleman's 2-person protest against the big DIGICELL 10th Anniversary concert at the MCC Grounds.
It's a touchy subject because the Football Federation of Belize has loudly protested the use of MCC and other football facilities for anything other than football. However, the National Sports Council has issued a statement saying that they have authority to allow anyone who wants to rent the facilities for private functions.
As we told you, Coleman's protest was a 24 hour venture, and she protested loudly through the entire performance, which was rained out.
By all accounts, the concert went on right through the rain; members of the public simply took off their shoes and danced late into the morning.
7News caught up with Coleman early Saturday morning, who was still at it. With her reports, we stopped in and looked at the MCC ourselves, and found it in a damaged state.
There was a mass amount of garbage on the field which had to be picked up. There were signs of footprints, bicycle tracks, and even vehicle tracks.
