Hanwha Eagles responded to Sports Chosun's criticism of Hanwha Life Ball Park safety issues in Daejeon.
Hanwha held the long-awaited opening ceremony of its new baseball stadium, Hanwha Life Ball Park, on the 5th. On the 6th, he even opened the Blue and White match to adjust to his new home stadium.
A new stadium that Daejeon fans, who are serious about baseball and Eagles, longed for. It was a hot topic even before the opening. Baseball fans' curiosity was stimulated by the introduction of Infinity Pool, Monster Wall, double-decker bullpen, and main hall for the first time in Korea. In particular, the locker and training facilities used by the home team Hanwha's team made the Major League Stadium perfect without envy.
But there was a `Tee in the Jade.' It was a safety issue. Sports Chosun reported that there is a high possibility of a batting accident because the left fence of the outfield, the sidewalk, and the roadway are too close.(January 3rd, the new stadium in Daejeon too close to India, the roadway...Hanwha also recognized that an accident could occur if a 140m long-distance home run is made, although it would not occur often. In recent years, batters' power is getting better and better, and pitchers' balls are getting faster. The repulsion of official balls is also increasing, so 140m home runs often come out. The left outfield space had a passageway for spectators, so there were few structures, and there was a good chance that the ball would fly to the sidewalk or roadway.

The problem was not over here. In India, seeing the inside of the stadium was also a factor that could cause a big accident. India and the stadium in the outfield were divided into iron fences, and fans who could not get tickets for the game of interest could watch the game if they wanted to. The issue of equity watching baseball with 'Free' without buying a ticket is also a problem, but the most important thing was safety. There was a risk of crushing if many fans flocked, and because it was right next to the road, there was a possibility that a fall could lead to a really terrible accident. Since the outfield entrance is located, the congestion can be enormous.

In response, the Hanwha team announced the measures in time for the opening ceremony. A Hanwha official said, `We plan to install the structure behind the left fence. The measure is aimed at preventing the leakage of balls and reducing complaints caused by light and noise. If this structure is installed, it will be impossible to watch baseball games outside."
The official continued "We are currently waiting for approval and permission for the construction. We plan to complete the construction in time for the opening of the regular season.
