Hellinikon Olympic Softball Stadium
The Hellinikon Olympic Softball Stadium is a softball stadium located in the Hellinikon Olympic Complex. It hosted the softball competitions during the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. The venue consists of a main softball field of 4,800 seats - though only 3,400 seats were made publicly available during the games - and 2 warm-up fields nearby. Construction on the facility was completed on February 29, 2004, and it was officially opened on July 30, 2004.
Softball however, has not been played at the stadium since the end of the 2004 Olympic Games, and the stadium has since falling into disuse and disrepair. One minder of the stadium commented that, "The softball [stadium] is in perfect working order. It is not abandoned. It's just that nobody ever plays softball".[1]
