Taipei Arena Introduction
Taipei Arena is located at the intersection of Dunhua North Road and Section 4 of Nanjing East Road in Songshan District, and it was formerly the Taipei Municipal Baseball Stadium. At the end of 2000, the Taipei City Government demolished the old baseball stadium and built a 15,000-seat multi-functional arena on the original site. Taipei Arena is an important indoor venue in the overall planning of sports facilities in Taipei City, and the building is divided into a main venue and a secondary venue. The main venue is a steel and reinforced concrete structure with 2 underground levels and 5 above-ground levels, with a total floor area of approximately 90,900 square meters. The main field is 76 meters long and 41.5 meters wide, and when the retractable seating is fully extended, the field still measures 60 meters by 29.5 meters. The center of the field can also be completely frozen as needed, becoming a standard indoor ice competition venue. The field usage can be flexibly adjusted according to needs, allowing it to compete for hosting tier-one events of international sports federations, making it a popular venue for domestic and international cultural and artistic groups to rent for performances. The secondary venue (Ice World) is permanently frozen and is the only indoor ice skating rink in Taiwan that meets international standards, with seating for 800 spectators. The ice rink has an area of 61 meters by 30 meters and is equipped with facilities for ice hockey and speed skating, allowing for standard indoor ice sports competitions. It is open for public ice skating and offers various training courses. Ice World also welcomes group applications from school clubs or companies and can arrange experienced skating instructors to lead the public in enjoying the fun of skating. In addition, Taipei Arena has planned about 2,000 pings of ancillary commercial facilities, including well-known chain restaurants, convenience stores, fitness centers, family recreation centers, health products, and various specialty shops to meet the public's needs for comfortable dining, shopping, and entertainment.
