TAIPEI (TVBS News) — Taipei's Department of Sports ensured Taipei Dome's artificial turf is safe to use Tuesday (April 11) in response to concerns raised two days earlier regarding installing the artificial turf directly on concrete.
Taipei Deputy Mayor Lee Ssu-chuan posted pictures on Facebook Sunday of workers installing the artificial turf inside the Taipei Dome, leading people to question its safety.
According to Lee's post, Japanese technicians instructed and supervised the on-site installation. The same artificial turf is used at the Vantelin Dome Nagoya and the Kyocera Dome Osaka.
The turf is seven centimeters tall, and there will be four centimeters of fine sand and granulated crumb rubber as the infill.
Taipei's Department of Sports emphasized that the turf is safer, and its stability, shock absorption, and bounce all outperform the older versions. Players can even wear spikes and don't need to change to plastic spikes.
The city government estimates the construction will be finished at the end of May and hopes to utilize the venue for the Chinese Professional Baseball League championship in November.
