The bid for external stalls at the main stadium of the Tainan Asia-Pacific International Baseball Training Center has caused controversy. The original bid was announced as invalid on March 8, and a new bid was opened on the 13th, but no one submitted a tender. The city government has preliminarily decided not to solicit bids further. In the future, temporary markets will be organized based on actual needs.
An incident occurred on March 29 at the Tainan Asia-Pacific International Baseball Training Center's main stadium during the professional baseball opening game, where a fan slapped a part-time worker. On April 2, controversy arose again regarding the bidding for external stalls (bidding period: April 2 to 8), for which the Director of the Tainan City Sports Bureau, Chen Liang-gan, publicly apologized. Tainan Mayor Huang Wei-che also stated that the execution process was not sufficiently meticulous. The original bid was announced as invalid.
After comprehensive evaluation, the city government reopened bidding on the 13th for a period of 5 days. The operating period was extended from the Uni-Lions' first half-season to the entire year, covering the Uni-Lions' regular season games until September of this year.
The Sports Bureau informed CNA today that the second bid failed due to a lack of tenders. Currently, the preliminary decision is not to hold a third bid, meaning no further solicitation will occur. In the future, temporary markets will be organized based on actual needs for large events. With the current on-site merchandise sales, fan demands should be met. (Editor: Wu Su-Jou) 1150421
