At last baseball has returned to”Diana” stadium
After almost a year and a half baseball players are able to play on the “Diana” stadium which is situated on the “Iztok” sport complex territory, in Sofia. Modern pentathlon European Championship was the last sport competitions took place on this stadium some years ago.
Nevertheless after stadium’s renovation its cover was damaged. Fortunately it was quickly set in order. After 17 months of reconstruction, “Diana” stadium has already welcomed Bulgarian Cup and the end of the baseball season 2016.
Currently “Diana” stadium looks like a real baseball stadium which meets all requirements. Great sport field is ready to welcome baseball teams and fans.
Personally, I don’t think that was the main problem in Bulgaria. There is another issue, that need to be improved. Baseball is not so popular here. They just wasted money and time. That was a great place for modern pentathlon. Why did they convert it for another type of sport? But from the other hand it helps to involve more people in sport. And maybe smth new can attract people. I hope, that stadium will be supported in good condition. Who knows, maybe sometimes later this stadium will hold the baseball World Cup.
