The craze for domed stadiums in Taiwan began in the early 1990s. In the years previous, ROC teams had performed with great success in international amateur competitions. In 1990 a professional league was formed in Taiwan.

台灣的巨蛋熱源自 1990 初期，在此之前，中華棒球隊屢屢於國際賽事締造佳績，1990 年，甫成立的「中華職棒聯盟」首度舉辦南北巡迴的總冠軍賽，各地球迷在球場吶喊得熱血沸騰、好不過癮，然而場地設計缺失及雨天延賽的問題也一一暴露，當時前總統李登輝即裁示要興建適合職棒比賽的巨蛋。
