We don't know exactly when the safety diagnosis can be completed. Three consecutive games in Changwon during the week will be played without spectators.

The KBO (Korea Baseball Organization) decided to play a three-game series between the SSG Landers and the NC Dinos, scheduled to be held in Changwon from April 1 to 3, without spectators on the afternoon of the 30th" he announced. KBO also agreed that the LG-NC game scheduled for the 30th was postponed due to the structure crash in Changwon on March 29, and that the follow-up safety inspection is expected to take time. The KBO will make efforts to ensure that the league operates with the safety of visitors as a top priority in all stadiums in the future."

During the game between the LG Twins and the NC Dinos at Changwon NC Park on the 29th, the structure of the building wall fell, injuring three spectators. The accident is believed to have injured spectators passing around the canteen when a structure installed on a wall located at the top of the concourse-style corridor on the central floor of NC Park suddenly fell down at around 5:20 p.m. Two of the three injured spectators were directly injured, while the other one was moved individually to the hospital, not directly injured by the structure, but in great surprise.

One spectator suffered a head injury. An NC team official said "The audience with head injuries underwent surgery at a local hospital. Another injured his collarbone and is currently being treated"There is currently one employee of the club residing in the hospital, and the club will provide all support for the treatment without sparing anything."

After the game on the 29th, LG players, the away team, did not move directly to Seoul but moved to their accommodation in downtown Changwon. The game was canceled on the 30th, but after taking a break at the accommodation, he moved to Seoul, his home, later in the day. NC players, the home team, decided to come to the ballpark and conduct training only. The players were also surprised by the crowd's injuries, and they trained in a calm atmosphere, hoping for a quick recovery.

The NC club wishes those who suffered unfortunate injuries early in the day "We wish them a speedy recovery." Therefore, we are doing our best to take necessary measures that the club can, and we will work with related agencies to identify the exact cause of the accident and establish measures to thoroughly implement it to prevent such accidents from happening again in the future," he said, issuing an official statement.




The key is when the safety diagnosis of the building ends and when NC Park can be safely used again. The NC club moved quickly, but the safety diagnosis was not immediately made due to the weekend. According to the NC club, a related company will visit the NC Park site on the 31st to look around the situation. It will be decided on the 31st whether the company can make a safety diagnosis or whether another company should be recruited. So, it may take several days to make a final diagnosis. This is why KBO decided to play three consecutive games against SSG scheduled for April 1-3 without spectators.
