Tornado Rips Up Stadium Night Before Our League Started

In the late afternoon the day before our first Slam was set to kick off in Kingston, an extreme weather event hit the National Stadium. Tornado-like winds ripped through the venue, launching tents into the air and damaging equipment. Thankfully, everyone on site was safe with no major injuries sustained. But we wanted to take a moment to say a big, public, and sincere thank you to the construction and venue development teams that enabled us to hold our inaugural Slam on Friday, less than 24 hours later. We were still able to showcase Grand Slam Track to the world. That is an incredible testament to the tireless work the on-the-ground teams put in through the night to get us event-ready. We are very grateful. PMY Group Alchemy Infinite Structures Main Event Jamaica ACS Media Momentum Broadcast Carr Hughes Productions Parker Invitational
