Gwangju Mudeung Baseball Stadium

Gwangju Mudeung Baseball Stadium, Baseball stadium in Im-dong, South Korea

Gwangju Mudeung Baseball Stadium is a baseball stadium in Im-dong, Gwangju, South Korea. Its outfield fences measure 99 m down the lines, 115 m in the gaps and 120 m to center, where a 22 m wide, 6.9 m high screen recalls Fenway Park's Green Monster. The stadium was fully renovated and reopened in 2023 for amateur baseball.

The stadium was built for the 46th National Sports Festival in 1965 and served as the home of the Haitai Tigers from 1982, continuing with the Kia Tigers until 2013. Its original blueprints were lost, complicating renovations until a 2005–2006 expansion moved the fences. A 2017 remodelling turned it into an amateur venue, reopened in 2023.

The stadium's name comes from Mudeung Mountain, which rises above Gwangju and is closely tied to local identity. The outfield held a home run zone marked by Kia vehicles and structures, a feature later carried over to the new Gwangju Kia Champions Field. The stadium hosted the KBO All-Star Game four times: in 1982, 1985, 1998 and 2009.

The stadium is easy to reach by public transit, and parking is available nearby for those arriving by car. Inside, food stalls and restrooms are open throughout games, so arriving a little early helps you get settled before the first pitch.

The centre-field wall carries a 22 m wide, 6.9 m high screen, compared to Fenway Park's Green Monster. The outfield once held a home-run zone marked by Kia vehicles and structures, a feature carried over to the new Gwangju-Kia Champions Field. The 1982 MBC–Haitai game on 5 August became the KBO's first suspended game, finished on 18 August as a doubleheader at Dongdaemun Baseball Stadium.
