The stadium opened in 1928 under the name Busan Municipal Stadium, making it one of the oldest sports venues in the region. It was significantly renovated in the 1970s to meet the growing demands of organized sport.
The stadium takes its name from the Gudeok neighborhood and is closely tied to the identity of local football supporters. On match days, fans of Busan IPark gather here, making the terraces a place where local pride comes to life.
The stadium sits within the city and is easy to reach by public transport, with bus stops nearby. Arriving a little early on event days helps to find the right entrance and settle in before things get going.
The stadium was used for football matches during the 1988 Summer Olympics, giving it a place in international sports history. That experience also helped shape the venue into a reference point for large-scale events in the city.
