Suwon Baseball Stadium, Baseball stadium in Jangan-gu, South Korea.
Suwon Baseball Stadium is a sports facility in Suwon designed to host professional baseball games with seating for around 20,000 spectators. The bleachers are arranged across multiple levels, allowing fans to watch the action from various vantage points throughout the venue.
The stadium was completed in 1988 and opened in 1989. From 2000 to 2007 it served as the temporary home of the Hyundai Unicorns, who moved from Incheon but folded after the 2007 season. After renovation for the KT Wiz, it hosted the KBO All-Star Game on 18 July 2015, the first in 16 years.
The KT Wiz name comes from sponsor KT, and the club's home games since 2015 have drawn crowds into a stadium rebuilt with 22,000 seats and natural grass in both infield and outfield. In July 2015 the venue hosted the KBO All-Star Game for the first time since 1999, and in December 2012 managers Kim In-sik and Kim Seong-geun led a charity match mixing pro players and entertainers.
The stadium sits inside Suwon Sports Complex in Jangan-gu. From Suwon Station on the Gyeongbu Line or Hwaseo Station, take a bus for about 15 minutes; intercity buses from Seoul's Sadang Station also stop at the sports complex. The 2017 renovation added 2,000 seats.
The stadium hosted the KBO All-Star Game on 18 July 2015, the first time in 16 years since 1999. In 2009 it also served as a filming location for MBC's baseball drama Strike Love.
