Daegu Baseball Stadium, Baseball stadium in Daegu, South Korea.
Daegu Baseball Stadium is a sports facility in South Korea with concrete grandstands seating around 10,000 spectators, with covered areas protecting fans from weather. The infrastructure allows comfortable viewing throughout games.
The facility opened in 1948, marking an important development for South Korean sports infrastructure after the country's liberation. This founding year reflects baseball's early importance in the newly independent nation.
From 1982 to 2015 the stadium was the home of the Samsung Lions, who used the third-base dugout while visiting teams took the first-base side. The club's last regular-season game here, against KT Wiz on 2 October 2015, was followed by a ceremony, and the final Korean Series games were played on 26 and 27 October 2015.
The stadium sits in Goseong-dong 3-ga, Buk-gu, with Buk-gu Office Station on Daegu Metro Line 3 a short walk west of the ground. Since the 2018 reopening it serves amateur and social baseball, so check the fixture list before visiting. Most of the old grandstand was dismantled, leaving the central seating behind home plate, the scoreboard and the light towers.
In 1995 the stadium installed South Korea's first LED video scoreboard, built to display up to 15 innings. On 6 July 2008, during a Samsung–KIA game, it lit up innings 13 to 15 after the game ran into extra innings. The scoreboard survived the 2018 remodelling, along with the central stand behind home plate and the light towers.
