Estadio Once de Noviembre Abel Leal Díaz[1] is a baseball stadium in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia. It currently serves as the home of the Tigres de Cartagena of Colombia's professional baseball league. The stadium has a seating capacity of 12,500 people.[1]

The stadium hosted the Amateur World Series tournaments of 1947, 1965, and 1970, as well as the 2006 Central American and Caribbean Games.[1] In 2019, the stadium was renamed in honor of Abel Leal Díaz, nicknamed "El Tigre," who played in Colombia's amateur circuit in the 1960s and '70s.[2]

The condition of the stadium has deteriorated in recent years, forcing Tigres to play their 2023–24 season at the Estadio Édgar Rentería in Barranquilla.[3][4]
