Tainan Municipal Baseball Stadium

Tainan Municipal Baseball Stadium is home to the most successful team in CPBL history (most championships won by the Uni-President Lions) and also the oldest stadium in Taiwan. It was built in 1931 and still being used today. Not surprisingly, the stadium has gone through many renovations and changes.

I certainly did my homework with this one and decided the 2014 version would be most interesting to build - This was the year they added field level "Diamond Seating" area. Also the lights were still inside the stadium (yup, you heard me right).

Preview Pictures

This stadium can boast that they have BOTH the best and worst seats in CPBL.

Best Seats -- the new Diamond seat section. You cannot get this close to the action in any other stadium in Taiwan

Worst Seats -- don't buy these tickets! Not only does the light pole block your view, but it can also be dangerous..... Because of a nearby airport, Tainan Stadium's lights are restricted in height and definitely not high enough to avoid getting hit by fly balls.

One such case did happen and broken glass fell on the fans below. Fortunately, it was a poorly attended game so no one was seriously injured. The team had since moved the light poles to the outside of the stadium (in 2016 I believe). Look at this unbelievable shot. Man, this is not a place for the faint of heart:

All in all, this is still a stadium with a lot of history and deserves to be added to our OOTP collection. Here is a nice dusk view from just beyond the Diamond seat section.
