Tsai says that with one dome already opened in Taipei, and one in the works in Taichung, Southern Taiwan should also get one of its own. But Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Chi-mai doesn’t seem so keen on the project. Let’s hear more.Tsai Chi-changCPBL CommissionerIt gets so hot in Kaohsiung. Baseball fans in the south all want an indoor ballpark. Perhaps it doesn’t have to be as big as the Taipei Dome. But there should be a medium-sized dome in Southern Taiwan, an indoor space for games. I think that would make for a better experience for everyone.Chen Chi-maiKaohsiung MayorBuilding a dome is easy, but making it work is not. You need to assess issues such as transport, finances and demand.Lai Jui-lungKaohsiung Mayoral Candidate (DPP)Taipei has one. And Taichung is getting one built. I think that building a medium-sized dome in Kaohsiung would be beneficial for the city’s future development.Lai Jui-lung, who will run for Kaohsiung mayor with the DPP says there is plenty of vacant land in the city at the 58-hectare lot that used to be the 205th arsenal. It is also near public transport, just a walk away from the MRT’s Kai-syuan Station and the Light Rail’s Qianjhen Star Station. It’s also near the Asia New Bay Area, which makes it a prime location in downtown Kaohsiung.
