Central News Agency (CNA) - Tainan, April 20, 2026 - The Tainan City Council held a special report this afternoon on the operation and management issues of the Asia-Pacific International Baseball Training Center, with the city government providing a special report. Regarding tender and other disputes, Mayor Huang Wei-che stated that the city government will adhere to regulations for managing public assets and continue communication with Uni-President Lions.
The special report this afternoon began with a presentation by the Sports Bureau, followed by questions from several city councilors regarding noise, traffic, vendor tenders, and stadium operations. Relevant city government departments responded to the inquiries.
Regarding noise issues, the Tainan City Environmental Protection Bureau stated that it has actively intervened in monitoring, and the Sports Bureau strictly stipulates that electronic cheering will stop after 10 PM and that mufflers will be added to equipment. Legal standards are only the minimum baseline for environmental testing. Maintaining quality of life should not rely solely on public sector inspections; the team should also proactively implement concrete noise prevention and neighborly relations plans to achieve a win-win situation between the fervor of matches and local quality of life.
Independent City Councilor Ingay Tali pointed out that the current contract between the Asia-Pacific main stadium and the team does not include a royalty clause. Even reviewing the contract records of the Tainan Municipal Baseball Stadium over the past nearly 30 years, Uni-President Lions only needs to pay about NT$2 million in rent annually. If the team wishes to renovate the venue, it must obtain consent from the lessor according to the law. Outsiders should not incite fan emotions, leading public officials who are working according to the law to be attacked without reason.
Huang Wei-che stated that the city government will adhere to the regulatory procedures for managing public assets and will continue to communicate with the team with a professional and rational attitude to ensure that both parties reach a consensus within the legal framework.
DPP Councilor Chu Cheng-hsuan stated that all the current efforts of the city government team are aimed at improving the stadium and handing over a good stadium to a professional team for adoption, hoping to create a win-win-win situation for fans, the team, and the city.
Sports Bureau Director Chen Liang-kan stated that the city government has always maintained close contact with Uni-President Lions and is scheduled to meet with the team again on the 27th.
The Tainan City Government provided data indicating that regarding the hardware and traffic suggestions previously made by various parties for the stadium, the city government has launched several improvement measures, including adding temporary lighting at entrances and exits and researching long-term fixed lighting solutions. Additionally, horizontal seating paths have been optimized by covering them with canvas, and coordination is underway with the three major telecom operators to strengthen on-site communication signals. The "batter's eye," which fans are concerned about, is also expected to be covered with canvas by the end of April. (Edited by Chang Ya-ching) 1150420
