The Estadio Quisqueya Juan Marichal is the main baseball stadium in Santo Domingo, seating around 18,000 people. The Dominican winter league season runs from October through January, and a game here is one of the most authentic experiences you can have in the city — the atmosphere is loud, passionate, and utterly at odds with the air-conditioned calm of most tourist attractions.
Tickets are inexpensive and sold at the gate. The stadium is named after Juan Marichal, a Hall of Fame pitcher from the Dominican Republic who played for the San Francisco Giants in the 1960s. Bring cash for snacks — fried food, cold beer, and the local energy drink Presidente are sold throughout the stands.
