Leopards Park is a baseball stadium located in Punta Santiago, Alduria, and has served as the home field of the Punta Santiago Leopards of the Federal Baseball League since 1699 AN. Built to replace the historic Old Grounds, the 55,000-seat facility is renowned for its blend of classical Alexandrian architecture and modern baseball functionality. The stadium's most distinctive features include the steep three-tiered "Leopards' Den" grandstand behind home plate, the 40-foot high right field wall (known as the "Blue Monster"), and the Heritage Wall, which incorporates preserved stones from the original Old Grounds' entry archway. The ballpark's location offers views of Punta Santiago harbor, while its asymmetrical dimensions - including the famous short right field distance of 290 feet - pay homage to its predecessor.
The stadium has undergone two major renovations since its construction. The 1725 AN renovation, costing NAX€120 million, added luxury suites, expanded concourse areas, and modernized concessions while preserving the park's traditional elements. The 1733 AN renovation focused on technological upgrades and improved fan amenities, including the installation of the largest video board in Nouvelle Alexandrie professional sports. Leopards Park has hosted five Federal Baseball League Champions Series (1722 AN, 1727 AN, 1730 AN, 1732 AN, 1735 AN), two FBL All-Star Games (1705 AN, 1728 AN), and numerous international baseball tournaments. The facility is also noted for its sustainability initiatives, becoming the first FBL stadium to achieve carbon neutrality in 1734 AN. Beyond baseball, the stadium serves as a cultural landmark in Punta Santiago, with its Heritage Museum attracting over 200,000 visitors annually.
