Taiwan’s Pro Baseball League Invites More Fans to Attend Game

By Tom Taylor 5.15.2020

Taiwan’s Chinese Professional Baseball League began welcoming back fans to its stadiums last Friday, and now it has been allowed to double the number in attendance from 1,000 to 2,000. At games so far this week, fans were separated by three seats and an empty row, but family members will now be allowed to sit together. Venues can also begin selling food again.

Though the CPBL is small, with just five teams, both it and South Korea’s KBO League are seen as test cases for how pro sports can return to play. Active coronavirus cases in both countries appear to be declining—Taiwan hasn’t registered a new case since May 7, and South Korea was on the same trend until a recent slight uptick.
