Tianmu Baseball Stadium, Baseball stadium in Shilin District, Taipei, Taiwan
Tianmu Baseball Stadium is a baseball venue in the Tianmu area of Shilin District, Taipei. It has an artificial turf field, covered infield seating for 10,000 spectators, and an open outfield with a picnic zone.
The stadium opened in 1999 with a reduced capacity after residents raised concerns about noise. It later hosted the 2001 Baseball World Cup and, in 2002, the first official Major League Baseball game in Taiwan, which led to the lifting of a ban on professional games.
On game days, the stands fill with fans who sing, chant, and bang thundersticks, creating a wall of sound that is part of the local baseball culture. The outfield picnic area, added in 2021, lets families spread blankets and watch the game from the grass, a relaxed contrast to the noisy infield.
The stadium is easy to reach by metro from Zhishan or Shilin Station, with shuttle buses running on game days. Arrive early to find your seat and explore the concourse, as the area gets crowded before the first pitch.
In 2020, it became the first professional baseball stadium in Taiwan to install artificial turf. Because of its location in a residential area, special rules stop play at 10 p.m., with no extra innings and no amplified sound after that time.
