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 known as the Taipei Municipal Baseball Stadium. At the end of 2000, the Taipei City Government demolished the old baseball stadium and constructed a 15,000-seat multi-functional sports venue on the original site. Taipei Arena is an important indoor venue in the overall planning and construction of sports facilities in Taipei City. The building consists of a main arena and a secondary facility. The main arena is a steel and reinforced concrete structure with 2 underground levels and 5 above-ground levels, covering a total floor area of approximately 90,900 square meters. The main area measures 76 meters in length and 41.5 meters in width; when the retractable seating is fully extended, the area still reaches 60 meters by 29.5 meters. The central part of the venue can also be fully iced as needed, converting it into a standard indoor ice sports arena. The venue can be flexibly and diversely adapted for various uses, allowing it to host international-level events sanctioned by major sports federations, and it is a popular site for domestic and international cultural performances. The secondary facility (Ice Land) is ice-covered year-round and is the only indoor skating rink in Taiwan that meets international standards, accommodating 800 spectators. The skating area measures 61 meters by 30 meters and is equipped with ice hockey and speed skating facilities, capable of hosting standard indoor ice sports competitions. It is open to the public for skating and offers various training courses. Ice Land also welcomes applications from school clubs or companies for group access and can arrange for experienced skating coaches to guide visitors in enjoying the thrill of skating. Additionally, Taipei Arena features about 2,000 square meters of 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.
