The KBO League has repeatedly been crippled by the era of 10 million spectators.
However, since the total removal of 310 aluminum louvers weighing 60kg each, which is the cause of a major accident at Changwon NC Park in South Gyeongsang Province, has just been made, it is possible to try to return to the home stadium after the KIA match.
The Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) announced that the venue of the KIA Tigers-NC Dinos game, which was scheduled to be held at Changwon NC Park from the 29th, has been changed to Gwangju Kia Champions Field.
KBO announced on the 26th, "Instead of playing the three consecutive games between KIA and NC scheduled to be held in Changwon from the 29th to May 1st in Gwangju, the two teams' games, which were scheduled to be held in Gwangju for three days from August 8th, will be moved to Changwon."
Earlier, at Changwon NC Park on the 29th of last month, a structure installed on the wall of a snack bar on the third base side crashed during a game between the LG Twins and the NC Dinos, seriously injuring three spectators who visited the ballpark.
The structure was made of aluminum, 2.6 meters long, 40 centimeters wide, and weighs 60 kilograms. After falling vertically from the fourth floor, the louver bounced off the roof of a canteen on the first floor and hit three spectators in front of the canteen.
At the time of the accident, the NC club said, "The structure in NC Park fell at 5:20 p.m., and we are currently investigating the reason." "There were three victims, two of them moved by ambulance, and one of them moved to the hospital separately in surprise. The club will do everything they can to recover."
After the accident, one person who injured his head died after the surgery despite the club's hard work and desperate prayer.
In response, KBO issued an official memorial and canceled all regular season games on the 1st. In the case of NC, the home game schedule for the 2025 season has been suspended since the 30th of last month.
It was a shocking accident that did not fit the era of 10 million KBO League spectators.
Since then, NC has formed a joint task force with three organizations of Changwon City and Changwon Facilities Corporation on the 3rd to identify the exact cause of the accident and to prepare measures to prevent recurrence.
After two days of discussions on the 2nd and 3rd, the three organizations, including the club, decided to jointly respond to safety inspections and prompt measures to prevent recurrence of Changwon NC Park by prioritizing support for bereaved families and injured people who lost their families in unfortunate accidents.
However, the reopening of NC Park has not been decided yet, and in the end, the venue for the last three consecutive games during the week in April was changed to KIA's home stadium.
As a result, the NC team is playing an away game immediately after the accident or the entire series is canceled.
NC, whose home game against SSG was completely canceled on the 1st to 3rd, was scheduled to face the Lotte Giants at home after six consecutive away games against Kiwoom Heroes and KT Wiz in the Seoul metropolitan area, but moved to Sajik Baseball Stadium in Busan, Lotte's home stadium, and played home games at the opposing team's stadium.
The three consecutive home games against Doosan on the 15th and 17th were eventually canceled because there was no alternative stadium. Since then, they played again at Hanwha Stadium on the 18th and 20th and LG Electronics Stadium on the 22nd and 24th. They are having difficulty in training at NC Park.
The three consecutive games on the weekend of the 25th and 27th are originally home games for the Samsung Lions, so there is no big problem, but it was interested in whether he could return to NC Park during the three consecutive games during the week from the 29th, but it was confirmed as an away game in Gwangju, KIA's hometown, which had to be called home.
As a result, NC has been going all over the country for more than a month, playing an abnormal schedule of only away games or taking a complete break from the series.
The damage will be suffered not only by the NC team but also by the other team.
Due to the change in the venue of the game, KIA will be forced to play 12 consecutive away games in hot weather, starting with the Lotte Giants game on August 5 and the Doosan Bears game on August 17.
A KBO official said, "In a situation where it is not easy to adjust the schedule, KIA cooperated on a grand scale."
In other words, the KBO League is operating in a crippled manner that is unprecedented recently.
The NC team will play Lotte Giants at Sajik Baseball Stadium on the 2nd and 4th after the three consecutive games during the week against KIA, and this time, it will play a proper away game. The home game against KT Wiz is scheduled from the 5th to the 7th, which is Children's Day, and attention is being paid to whether the NC team will be able to return home at this time.
First of all, the louver, which was the cause of the accident, decided to take off all of it.
According to a report by Yonhap News on the 26th, the joint task force of Changwon City, Changwon Facilities Corporation, and NC Dinos, which was launched to deal with the death of the structure, decided to remove all the "ruvers" inside and outside Changwon NC Park.
After a recent internal review on whether to remove the entire louver, the joint task force concluded that it would remove all the louver by collecting opinions from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the National Land Safety Management Agency.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport reportedly recommended that all louvers be removed considering future maintenance and management problems such as weathering of facilities. The joint task force also decided that considering the trauma of baseball fans and citizens, it was inevitable to remove the louvers.
Whether or not to reopen Changwon NC Park is expected to be decided soon if deficiencies in the results report of the emergency safety inspection conducted by the Changwon Facilities Management Corporation are supplemented.
