New Taipei's Small Dome is embroiled in controversy as it is revealed to be a scam during a city council inquiry. Democratic Progressive Party councilor Huang Shu-jun criticized the feasibility report provided by the city government's Sports Bureau, highlighting financial concerns and inadequate community facilities. Mayor Hou Yu-yi stated that during the investment phase, there will be extensive discussions with local residents, but emphasized limited municipal resources and the need to prioritize government-promoted projects. Huang Shu-jun called for a halt to the BOT project citing public opposition and concerns over insufficient sports facilities for residents. Various councilors raised issues with the planned location's prime area in Banqiao and potential limitations on public space due to commercialization. The council is urging the mayor to address these concerns and engage in transparent communication with the community.
