As a result of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's safety diagnosis of professional baseball stadiums, Champions Field received a C grade.
Champions Field, which opened in 2014, is classified as a new stadium even though it has just been over a decade. Nevertheless, it received a C grade along with Busan Sajik Baseball Stadium, which was completed in 1985. Changwon NC Park, Jamsil Baseball Stadium, Incheon SSG Landers Field, Suwon KT Wiz Park, and Daegu Lions Park, which opened in 1982 and are classified as old stadiums, are all rated B. Only Gocheok Sky Dome, which Kiwoom Heroes use as their home, received A grade.
According to the facility safety grade classification, grade C refers to a condition in which the auxiliary member is damaged and needs repair and reinforcement, and if the current defect state persists, it may cause defects in the main member. This is the reason why the auxiliary members were carefully examined in detail during this safety inspection.
