Abandoned 2004 Athens Softball Stadium in November 2018

Softball however, has not been played at the stadium since the end of the 2004 Olympic Games. One minder of the stadium commented that, "The softball [stadium] is in perfect working order. It is not abandoned. It's just that nobody ever plays softball".[1] The stadium has since fallen into disuse and disrepair.[2]
