Ny Sports Complex Collapse
The owner of a sports complex in the upstate New York city of Binghamton says he plans to rebuild after its air-supported dome collapsed under this week’s record-breaking snowfall.
No one was injured when one of the state’s largest indoor sports complexes collapsed under 40 inches of snow that blanketed Broome County.
Owner Bahij Kashou told the Binghamton Press & Sun-Bulletin he was meeting with his insurance company representatives to determine the fate of the 125,000-square-foot complex.
The Kashou family plans to rebuild but needs $120,000 before insurance kicks in, Renee Kashou, the complex’s director of marketing and sales, told Spectrum News.
