Design priorities are achieved in these buildings if structure and enclosure are recognized carefully in all scales. Indoor Ballparks are a type of stadiums that support outdoor sports, such as baseball, football or soccer. The numbers of these wide span structures are increasing due to versatile needs today. These structures are being built with different shapes and structural forms around the world nowadays.
