While you might be surprised to hear it, baseball is as much a national pastime in Nicaragua as it is in the US, maybe even more so. The national stadium (named for Major League pitcher Dennis Martinez) has space for 15,000 people, making it bigger than the national soccer stadium. The stadium opened in 2017. Besides baseball games of the national team it is mostly used for home games of the "Indios del Boér", Managua's home team and the serial champion of the Nicaraguan league. Parking available.
Estadio Nacional Soberanía is located in Managua, Nicaragua. It has a capacity of 15,000 seated spectators. The stadium was built in 2017 as the Estadio Nacional Dennis Martínez, named after former Major League Baseball player Dennis Martínez, as a replacement for Managua's previous Estadio Nacional
