Nobeoka Nishishina Athletic Stadium, Athletic stadium in Nobeoka, Japan.
Nobeoka Nishishina Athletic Stadium is a sports facility with a running track, playing field, and modern amenities for various athletic competitions. The venue has seating for about 15,000 spectators and sits within a larger sports park that includes parking areas.
The stadium was built in 1968 as part of Nobeoka city's plan to develop sports infrastructure in Miyazaki Prefecture. It emerged from a broader effort to provide modern athletic facilities for the growing community.
Since 1997 the stadium has hosted the Golden Games in Nobeoka every May, a night meeting of middle- and long-distance track races. Because the venue has no permanent floodlight towers, four mobile lighting trucks are brought in for that evening alone. The 2010 edition was cancelled owing to a foot-and-mouth outbreak.
