Lide Baseball Field Introduction
The 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's victory at the 28th Little League World Series, making it a place of deep historical significance and a shared passionate memory for baseball fans in southern Taiwan. The stadium has a seating capacity of 9,500 and is the only stadium in Taiwan that has installed iron nets along all the infield sidelines, allowing spectators to watch the game up close with the players. The outfield stands are equipped with roofs to provide shade and protect against rain. In preparation for the 2009 World Games, the city government renovated the stadium's facilities to accommodate softball events, dismantled the outfield grandstands to integrate with the scenic Love River, and is currently looking to upgrade it to international standards, enhancing the multifunctionality of this urban baseball venue.
