The Colorado Rockies made history by hosting their first-ever Taiwan Day at Coors Field, in partnership with Major League Baseball (MLB) and the local Taiwanese community. The cultural celebration drew more than 50,000 fans, including approximately 500 Taiwanese attendees and VIP guests, creating a vibrant evening of baseball and cultural exchange. Prior to the game, the Rockies held a special on-field ceremony introducing distinguished guests: Consular Officer Natalia Wang of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (TECO) in Denver; Taiwanese Chamber of Commerce of Denver (TCCD) President Cher Chan, Vice President Vivan Chien, and former Secretary General Fay Lee; Colorado Taiwanese Association former President Rachel Chiu; and Colorado Chinese School Principal Mitchell Hong. Representatives of the Taiwanese community walked onto the stadium stage wearing aboriginal costumes, The folk legend Third Prince (Ne Zha) costumes, and Rockies Taiwan Day commemorative shirts to showcase Taiwan’s cultural characteristics to the audience.
