Lide Baseball Stadium Introduction
The Lidete Baseball Stadium, located on Zhongyi Road in Kaohsiung City, was established during the Japanese colonial period. In 1974, it was renamed to commemorate the Lidete Little League team’s victory in the 28th Little League World Series. With a rich history, it holds a special place in the memories of baseball fans in southern Taiwan. The stadium has a seating capacity of 9,500 and is the only field in Taiwan with an entire infield perimeter protected by a safety net, allowing fans to have an up-close experience with the players. The outfield bleachers are equipped with roofs to provide shade and shelter from the rain. In preparation for the 2009 World Games and the softball events, the city government upgraded the stadium’s facilities and integrated the outfield bleachers with the scenic views of the Love River. There are ongoing plans to transform it into an international-standard stadium, enhancing its multifaceted functions in the urban area.
