Lide Baseball Stadium Introduction
The Li De Baseball Stadium, located on Zhongyi Road in Kaohsiung City, was established during the Japanese rule. In 1974, it was renamed to commemorate the Li De Little League team, which won the World Championship at the 28th William Jones Little League Baseball Tournament. It has a long history and is a shared passionate memory for baseball fans in southern Taiwan. The stadium has 9,500 seats and is the only stadium in Taiwan with chain-link fences installed along all the baselines in the infield, allowing spectators to watch the game up close with the stars. The outfield bleachers are all equipped with roofs to provide shade and protection from the rain. In preparation for the 2009 World Games, the city government renovated the stadium's facilities to accommodate the softball events, and combined the outfield bleachers with the scenic view of the Love River, with plans to transform it into an international standard stadium, enhancing the comprehensive functionality of the city-center baseball venue.
