It turns out that they share a historical background of national baseball and they have witnessed the rise and fall of political powers of Taipei.<\/p>\n<p>On the 1935 map we find the Maruyama Ground. Decades later, the Maruyama Ground became\u00a0a soccer stadium, a baseball field (later replaced by the Taipei Arena) arose in the area of Zhonglun \u4e2d\u4ed1, and a\u00a0future stadium (later named Taipei Dome) would stand next to the\u00a0Taipei Railway Workshop \u94c1\u9053\u5de5\u5382.
