During my stay in Jakarta, I don't know how many times I visited the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium because the area is a multipurpose area close to where I live. Now I run there more often because being in the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium arena makes me feel comfortable running without any disturbance. Gelora Bung Karno is a sports area where there are many stadiums for each sport. The main stadium is usually used for playing football, once in my life, I entered the main stadium not to watch football but to watch a K-Pop concert. That's because the main stadium area is not free to visit. You are only allowed to the inner circle. Then the second stadium that is free to enter is the softball stadium. It's usually very crowded here. And this is the third field of all the stadiums, namely the baseball field. I thought the baseball and softball stadiums were the same stadium. I just found out yesterday because so far I have no intention of entering other stadiums.
Yesterday, I wanted to recall my memories of watching cricket matches. In the past, before I had a permanent job, I often traveled to watch cricket matches, it was related to my research on writing a novel whose characters were cricket players.
Long story short, I contacted my friend who is a cricket player, and he told me that now they are having a match in a baseball stadium. I went to the wrong stadium and finally, I entered the Baseball stadium.
And let's talk about this stadium.
Baseball Stadion
Baseball Stadium is one of the small stadiums in the GBK area. This stadium is also a stadium that is rarely used because Baseball is not a popular sport in my country. This stadium looks less well maintained than other stadiums. I only found out where this stadium was after a long time.

In terms of architecture, the baseball stadium has the same design as other small stadiums where the audience is on the 2nd floor. This stadium does not have more than two floors, unlike the very large main stadium or the softball stadium which has 3 floors.

Just like the stadium I have entered, this stadium also has thousands of white seats. It seems that white is the basic color or mandatory color for all aspects in the Gelora Bung Karno area. This gives the impression that this stadium has a minimalist concept.
Besides, there is a slight difference between this baseball stadium and other stadiums, namely friendly for our disabled friends. In the front section, flexible priority seats are provided.

What makes this stadium different from other stadiums is the net that covers the entire main building of the stadium because baseball or cricket are sports that throw the ball as high as possible so it should not hit the audience. Moreover, a baseball ball will have a detrimental impact if it hits people, and did you know that the cricket ball is even harder than the baseball ball so it will be dangerous for the audience. However, these nets seem to have to be replaced.
So can you see the cricket athletes there?
Thanks in advance, to read my blog and hope you like my post!

Hi, Halo, Annyeong! Welcome to my galaxy.
I have so much imagination in my head. Something that I can't achieve as a human and as a girl. So writing is very challenging. Since Junior High School, I have written whatever I want to write. Without skill, I just write what I want to read. Now I have 12th published novels and all of them are romance.
Yeah, I proudly say that I am a passionate author, traveler wannabe, and blogger.
It looks very nice and clean. I didn't know the cricket ball is harder.
I haven't been in a stadium for years. I find it interesting that to inspire your characters you look for the places where they are supposed to live, your novels must be very good.
hi @soyunasantacruz the cricket ball will broke your body when its hits you, I ever hold that ball, that was so heavy.

This stadium's architecture is impressive! The interior seating area is pretty much reflected on the outer facade, displaying a spectacular cascading effect of lines and angles. The use of the color white and lighter tones was a great choice since it gives the impression of a much larger building despite its small dimensions. A superb architectural exploration indeed @viviehardika. ☺️
Thanks for Elevating Architecture and Design with Hive!
Wow, you have a great assessment of the architecture of this stadium @storiesoferne, I also agree that this stadium has awesome lines and angles.
It's my pleasure to elevate the architecture and design with Hive, thanks for supporting me as always..
From the looks of it, this stunning stadium is definitely well maintained and designed. With its modern and simplistic approach, its striking architecture remains timeless and will never go out of style. Amazing discovery @viviehardika! ☺️

Thank you @archmoments the architecture of this stadium does seem timeless and will never go out of style even after years. I think the management should think about how to get this stadium back to its original function as it will bring life back to this stadium and make it even more beautiful. Thanks for dropping by..
