Lide Baseball Field Introduction
Lide Baseball Stadium, located on Zhongyi Road in Kaohsiung City, was established during the Japanese colonial period. In 1974, it was renamed to commemorate the Lide Little League team winning the world championship at the 28th Little League World Series. With a rich history, it is a cherished memory for baseball fans in southern Taiwan. The stadium has a seating capacity of 9,500 and is the only stadium in Taiwan with iron netting installed along all foul lines in the infield, allowing spectators to see the stars up close. The outfield bleachers are also covered to provide shade and protection from rain. In preparation for the 2009 World Games, the city government renovated the stadium's facilities and dismantled the outfield bleachers to integrate the landscape of the Love River. There are current plans to renovate it into an international standard ballpark, enhancing the multifunctional capabilities of this urban baseball venue.
