Brand New Baseball Stadium in Puerto Armuelles

I spoke with the construction crew yesterday and they say that the new Glorias Deportivas Baruenses stadium in Puerto Armuelle should be open in February. It is an impressive structure, right at the roundabout coming into downtown!

If you have driven in or out of Puerto Armuelles in the past year, you’ve been witness to the construction of the enormous new baseball stadium, just past the roundabout. I’m so excited to be posting all of the improvements and positive forward movement of this beach town we call home. Just about everywhere we look nowadays, something new is happening!

Construction of the stadium is being carried out by Constructora Rigaservices, SA. Demolition of the old stadium and new construction began in August 2018, making it an 18 month long project. Total costs are over $7.5 million and the specifications are following MLB (Major League Baseball) standards.

Seating, with stands made of prefabricated concrete and reinforced steel, will accommodate 4,500 spectators. There are cubicles for the press and VIP Boxes with exclusive express access. The stadium will also have sales kiosks for food and other items, and a bar. Everything at this new stadium is top notch including fire alarm systems and sprinklers, an electronic scoreboard, lighting towers, green areas, and elevators. The parking lot will be asphalt and/or concrete and will be one of the last things to be installed.

Baseball is a popular sport in Panama and is especially important among the youth of Puerto Armuelles. Two professional baseball players have come out of Puerto to date: Omar Moreno was a major league player who played for the Pittsburg Pirates during the World series and Jhonny Santos,,es,来自Puerto Armuelles的迈阿密马林鱼外野手,,en,Jhonny Yussef Santos距离6',,en,磅,,en,来自Puerto Armuelles的外野手,,en,桑托斯今年将进入他在迈阿密马林鱼队的小联盟棒球队的第六个赛季,,en,桑托斯于10月2日出生,,en,他于7月2日与迈阿密马林鱼队签订了合同,,en,这是一笔很多钱,,en,Porteño,,es,达成协议后,,en,桑托斯的第一个专业任务是新手级别的DSL马林鱼队,,en,在多米尼加夏季联赛中,,en,他在球队中排名第二,,en,出现在年龄,,en,并击中,,en,有九个双打,,en,四个三倍,,en,没有本垒打,,en,RBI,,ar,他试图偷走15个基地中的10个,,en,并且只打了出来,,en,百分比的时间,,en,桑托斯赢得了新秀级别的横向晋级,,en,总部位于佛罗里达州的GCL马林鱼队在墨西哥湾沿岸联赛中获胜,,en,季节,,en is currently in the minor league, playing for the Miami Marlins.
