Kobe Sports Park Baseball Stadium (神戸総合運動公園野球場 Kōbe Sōgō-Undō-Kōen Yakyūjō) is a baseball park in Kobe Sports Park, Kobe, Japan. It is primarily used for baseball, and was the home field of the Orix Buffaloes. The stadium opened on March 6, 1988 and holds 35,000 people. Previously, Orix had played at Hankyu Nishinomiya Stadium and they are currently playing in Osaka Dome.
This ballpark is mainly used by Orix Buffaloes and Hanshin Tigers (only if Koshien Stadium is in maintenance). But they also host several games for both leagues.
This ballpark is one of two ballparks in Japan to have an American-style baseball field: An all-grass outfield and infield, with dirt basepaths.
