Kintetsu Buffaloes (1984–1996) |
Fujiidera Stadium (近鉄藤井寺球場) was a multi-use stadium in Fujiidera, Osaka, Japan. It was used mostly for baseball and was the home of the Kintetsu Buffaloes prior to the Osaka Dome opening in 1997. The stadium had a capacity of 32,000 people. The stadium was built in 1928, and closed in 2005. The site has since been redeveloped, and is now the home of the elementary school branch of Shitennoji International Buddhist University.
