(Central News Agency reporter Chang Jung-hsiang, Tainan 7th) The operation of the Asia-Pacific International Baseball Training Center's main stadium has attracted attention. Tainan City Mayor Huang Wei-che stated that the main stadium was built by the city government, and its sovereignty belongs to the city government. They will formulate a better way to achieve a win-win situation, balancing reasonable conditions and public interest, not just one side sacrificing for the other.
Huang Wei-che pointed out in an interview with the media today that the construction cost of the Asia-Pacific main stadium was NT$1.8 billion, which belongs to all citizens. If a baseball team or a third party wants to operate it, at this stage, they would lease it from the city government, and the city government must be accountable to all citizens.
He said that the party taking over the operation of the main stadium in the future should offer reasonable conditions, whether it's an OT (Operate-Transfer) or outsourced operation. The recent attendance at the main stadium proves that the baseball population has indeed grown, with an average attendance of over 10,000 people. This is a positive development, and future operations are also hoped to continue growing in this positive direction.
Huang Wei-che emphasized that the main stadium was built with funds and budgets from the city government and citizens, and future operations must be accountable to the city government and citizens.
The city government stated that if any baseball team or third-party operator is interested in leasing and operating the Asia-Pacific main stadium, the city government is open to discussions and welcomes cooperation. However, the basis of cooperation must still be established on the premise of balancing reasonable conditions and public interest. The city government will also study more comprehensive systems and management mechanisms to enhance venue efficiency, ensure public interest, and achieve a win-win situation for the city government and the operator.
