In a city known for breaking boundaries, Dubai’s latest addition is a pro baseball field. Modelled after the legendary Yankee Stadium, the soon-to-be Baseball United Ballpark will be the first of its kind in the UAE, the GCC, and over 10,000 km of territory from Morocco to India. Talk about pioneering the sport in a region where cricket usually steals the spotlight!

Set on the outskirts of Dubai, this ballpark promises not only to look the part but also to handle the searing desert heat like a pro. Its synthetic turf, with a fancy organic infill, is tailor-made to withstand the high temperatures of the UAE. And the lighting? Oh, it’s a showstopper! Featuring 15 million lumens and advanced BallTracker tech, this field will shine as bright as a desert sun.

Seats, Snacks, and Sizzle! This Ballpark Has It All

Now, let’s talk about seating. This ballpark has something for everyone, from ultra-premium Diamond Club spots for those who want to be close enough to hear the players’ grunts to value-packed Outfield Boxes for the everyday fan. And if you’re feeling extra fancy, Baseball United is rolling out their signature VVIP On-Field Cabanas. Yes, cabanas. You could be lounging like royalty while taking in nine innings of baseball. Dubai style, of course.

Not to be outdone, this stadium will boast modular seating, letting them pack in up to 6,500 fans, ready to cheer, munch on snacks, and soak in America’s favourite pastime under the UAE sun. The field’s design is in good hands, too. Some of the best stadium and pitch builders from around the world are working on this gem, ensuring Dubai’s first ballpark will hit it out of the park.

Stepping Up To The Plate
