The Mariano Bula Stadium is ready for use. The inauguration date for this coliseum is scheduled for Friday, March 13, in an event to be headed by the President of the Republic, José Raúl Mulino. Following the inaugural ceremony, the new Mariano Bula Stadium will be the official venue for the opening of the Senior National Baseball Championship between the teams from Colón and Chiriquí. The new Mariano Bula Stadium will have a capacity for 5,000 fans and parking for 102 vehicles. It will feature commercial premises, bathrooms with locker rooms for athletes, a clubhouse, batting cage, VIP box, gym, conference room, two dormitories for 32 players, press boxes, laundry, and infirmary, among other facilities. The playing field itself will have synthetic grass to Major League Baseball specifications, suitable for local league games, international matches, and professional baseball. This project represents a great deal for the sporting community and the general population after years of paralysis and uncertainty. The order to proceed with the work was issued on November 7, 2017, with a projected 20-month construction phase and an original contract cost of B/. 15,591,271.76. However, everything was left abandoned by two consecutive governments until the Mulino administration gave it the definitive boost.
