Taipei Dome (Chinese: 臺北大巨蛋; pinyin: Táiběi dà jùdàn; Wade–Giles: T'ai2pei3 ta4 chü4tan4; lit. 'Taipei big egg'), also known officially as Farglory Dome (遠雄巨蛋), is a multi-purpose domed stadium located in Xinyi, Taipei, Taiwan, that opened in October 2023. It was originally scheduled to start construction in 2007 and be completed in 2011, although the start date had been delayed until October 2011. In addition to the stadium, there will be a complex that will include commercial facilities such as a shopping mall, movie theater, hotel, and office space. Once completed, the stadium should be used mostly for baseball games, but it will also be used for other sporting events such as football, softball, and competitive gaming. It is located at the corner of Zhongxiao East Rd. and Guangfu South Rd, adjacent to Songshan Cultural and Creative Park. Additionally, it was previously planned to be the main stadium of 2017 Taipei Summer Universiade. In May 2015, the Taipei City Government ordered a suspension of construction.
