History

The city of Tainan announced in 2016 the plans for the training complex aimed to turn Tainan into a spring training base for professional baseball teams from Taiwan and abroad.[2] Construction of the complex is split into two phases, with Phase 1 focusing on the youth league stadiums, and Phase 2 on the standard stadiums and other training facilities.[3] Phase 1 was completed just in time to host the 2019 U-12 Baseball World Cup, while Phase 2 was completed by end 2024. The Uni-President 7-Eleven Lions, which previously based in the Tainan Municipal Baseball Stadium, is using the primary stadium as its home and is expected to acquire operation rights from the Tainan City Government.

The complex saw its first professional use in 2024, when Uni-President 7-Eleven Lions hosted their spring training in the secondary stadium and the adjoining facilities.[4] The primary stadium saw its first professional baseball regular season game on March 29th, 2026 where Lions hosted the visiting TSG Hawks.
