Gwangju Mudeung Baseball Stadium

Gwangju Mudeung Baseball Stadium is a venue in Im-dong designed to hold about 12,500 spectators in tiered seating that circles the playing field. Every seat offers clear views of the action and the dugouts from the circular arrangement.

The stadium opened in 1965, a period when baseball was establishing itself as a major professional sport in South Korea. This facility became an important piece of the nation's sports development during the post-war recovery.

The name references Mudeung Mountain, reflecting how local geography shapes community identity in this region. Spectators experience baseball as part of Gwangju's connection to its natural surroundings.

The stadium sits near public transportation connections, making it easy to reach by transit. On-site parking, food vendors, and restroom facilities serve visitors throughout events.

The facility retains original design elements from its 1965 opening while modern upgrades have added contemporary equipment and safety standards throughout. This blend of old and new makes the venue's long history tangible to visitors.
