The Taipei Dome (Chinese: 臺北大巨蛋; pinyin: Táiběi dà jùdàn; Wade–Giles: T'ai²pei³ ta⁴ chü⁴tan⁴; lit. 'Taipei big egg'), also known as the Farglory Dome (遠雄巨蛋), is a multi-purpose domed stadium located in Xinyi, Taipei, Taiwan, that opened in October 2023.^[1] It was originally scheduled to start construction in 2007 and be completed in 2011, although the start date had been delayed until October 2011.^[2] 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.^[2] 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.^[3] Additionally, it was previously planned to be the main stadium of 2017 Taipei Summer Universiade.^[4] In May 2015, the Taipei City Government ordered a suspension of construction.^[5]

In June 2010, the Taipei City Government rejected a plan for a major expansion of the Taipei Dome stadium project. The plan, which would have added more stores, a movie theater complex, and a hotel, were denied due to traffic concerns in the area.^[6] On December 9, 2010, the design for the dome passed the city's urban design review.^[3] The proposed design includes a 40,000-seat indoor stadium along with shopping and residential districts. The dome is being built through a contract between the city government and the Farglory Group.^[3] Construction was tentatively planned to start in July 2011.^[3] By March 2011, however, the environmental assessment review process was delayed until April 2011.^[7] The assessment was postponed again in late March 2011 due to insufficient information from the contractor.^[8] In May 2011, the Environmental Impact Assessment Review Committee conditionally approved the project after commercial facilities space was decreased by 17.4% to 202,610 m² (2,180,900 sq ft).^[9] On June 16, 2011, the project received final approval from the Urban Design Review Committee and construction started in October 2011.^[2] The dome opened in October 2023.^[1]

A set of international friendly club baseball games was held on March 2 and 3, 2024. On March 2, 37,890 people watched the CTBC Brothers take on the Yomiuri Giants. Shosei Togo and Yuto Akihiro propelled the Giants to a 4–1 victory.^[10] On March 3, 30,890 people watched the Rakuten Monkeys take on the Giants in a game that ended in a scoreless tie.^[11]

On March 13, 2024, the New Taipei CTBC DEA announced that their home games on April 13 and 14, 2024 would change to Taipei Dome in Taipei City, and held the 2024 Metro Battle with Taipei Mars. These games would be the first professional basketball games held in Taipei Dome.^[12] On April 13, the New Taipei CTBC DEA defeated the Taipei Mars, 88–81, winning the first victory in Taipei Dome with 15,600 people in attendance, the largest crowd in Taiwanese professional basketball history.^[13]

After a pair of Chinese Professional Baseball League preseason games at the Taipei Dome,^[14][15] Opening Day of the 2024 CPBL season [zh] was held there as well. The Wei Chuan Dragons defeated the Rakuten Monkeys 3–2 with the largest crowd in league history, numbering 28,618 in attendance.^[16]
