Sportpark Pioniers (Park 21) is the newest and perhaps most exciting ballpark in
Europe... built in 2014 as a showcase for the Honkbal Hoofdklasse... the Dutch
Major Leagues. The ballpark was built for €12 million Euros and according to Chris Kabout, is part of a €22 million Euro project creating a green area for Hoofddorp. (A Euro when this ballpark
was built was about 1.25 to the U.S. Dollar so when it debuted €12 million Euros was the equivalent of approx. $15 million US Dollars). |
