The new stadium cost a total of 207.4 billion won with 15 billion won in state funds, 143.8 billion won in municipal funds, and 48.6 billion won in investment in Hanwha. It boasts a total floor area of 58,539.31㎡ with two basement floors and four ground floors. The audience can accommodate about 20,000 people.

The new ballpark is designed to be asymmetrical left and right, so the distance to the right pole is 95m and the distance to the left pole is 99m. To compensate for the relatively short right-hand distance, a 'monster wall' with a height of 8 m2 was installed. The "Monster Wall" is a two-tier design that allows bullpen pitchers from both teams to train pitching on the first and second floors. The fourth floor is equipped with Infinity Pool and Spa for the first time in Korea. You can watch baseball while enjoying swimming in the pool. The swimming pool is expected to open after May because the weather is still cold.
