The Taichung Baseball Field (台中棒球場) is a multi-use stadium in Taichung, Taiwan. Built in 1935 during the Taiwan under Japanese rule era, this stadium has been repeatly refurbished and currently can seat 10,500 people. This stadium has been the home of professional baseball teams such as Jungo Bears(1993~1995), Sinon Bears(first half 1996), and Sinon Bulls(second half 1996~present) of Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL), and Taichung Agan(1997~2002) of Taiwan Major League (TML).
This stadium has long been a part of the National Taiwan College of Physical Education's campus and caused certain inconvenience when hosting professional baseball games. A new baseball stadium, the Taichung Intercontinental Baseball Stadium, opened in November 2006 to host the 2006 Intercontinental Cup, and it will most likely be the new home of the Sinon Bulls starting in 2008 season. When this happens, Taichung Baseball Field may no longer host professional baseball games and only be used for educational and training purposes.
