The stadium is restored and is one of those venues of great sentimental value for baseball lovers, having hosted iconic games and the best players in the history of the country. In addition, it currently serves as the headquarters of the Provincial Baseball Academy, forming new baseball idols.
Here, games are played with a special emotion, which creates the atmosphere that only a stadium of almost 150 years can provide.
