Choi Seo-hyun (17), a high school student wearing pitcher Moon Dong-ju's uniform, gave a series of exclamations at the ballpark where she visited with her friends on the 5th. Kim Min-seok (48), an office worker who introduced her as an eagle fan since the days of Binggrae, showed similar reactions. "As the new stadium, which used to be the long-cherished dream of fans, has opened, there is nothing more that Hanwha wants if it goes up to the autumn baseball league," he said with a smile.메이저놀이터

The day when Daejeon Hanwha Life Ballpark, the new home ground of the professional baseball Hanwha Eagles, was opened to the public for the first time after three years of long construction, was like a festival day in the Daejeon area. There was no game, but the area around the baseball stadium was crowded even before 6 p.m., the official opening time, with fans gathered to meet Hanwha players who returned from spring camp in person.

Hanwha's new stadium, which was newly opened at the site of the former Hanbat Sports Complex, has two basement floors, four floors above ground and a total floor area of 58,594 square meters, costing 207.4 billion won (approx. The entire stands were designed with 20,077 seats, but the left section of the outfield has been constructed as a terraced grass park. Hanwha plans to set up a specialized seat in the space.

If you look down at the stadium from the home plate on the fourth floor, which is the top of the stand, you can clearly see the asymmetric pentagonal ground shape. One of the characteristics of the new stadium is the "Monster Wall," which rises high above the right fence. The straight distance to the left fence is 99 meters and the right side is 95 meters, which is 4 meters short, but the right side has a 35-meter-long and 8-meter-high wall only behind the right fielder, making it more difficult for the right side to make a home run. The wall is made with a transparent LED display that can serve as an auxiliary electronic display, and the bullpen is located in two floors behind the wall. Hanwha will use the lower bullpen, and the visiting club will use the upper bullpen.

The highlights of the new stadium are the Infinity Pool on the left side of the stands on the fourth floor, a jacuzzi and a camping area. The Infinity Pool is 5 meters wide, 1.5 meters deep and 15 meters long, and this is the only place in the world where the pool is installed. "Because hot water comes out, you can feel warm even in winter," said Lee Chang-yong, manager of Hanwha's management support team.

Hanwha ace Ryu Hyun-jin said in a video message congratulating the opening, "I had a lot of good memories at Hanwha Eagles Park (the existing stadium), but I'm happy and excited to play a good game at the new stadium," and vowed, "As the biggest brother of the pitcher group, I will lead the players well and show them a good game this season."

Hanwha's new home stadium will take its historic first step through an exhibition game against the Samsung Lions from July 17 to 18. The opening game of the 2025 regular season will be held on July 28 against the KIA Tigers. This year's KBO All-Star Game (July 12) will also be held here.
