Is he in a hurry to get angry with the public. Changwon City set the goal of reopening Changwon NC Park as soon as possible.

Changwon City and Changwon Facilities Corporation held a briefing on the afternoon of the 9th and announced that they plan to complete the maintenance of facilities in Changwon NC Park by the 18th. In addition, it added that it will focus its role on reopening as soon as possible. Changwon City also believes that Changwon NC Park will be able to reopen as early as the end of this month, considering the schedule for facility maintenance.

Changwon NC Park, the home stadium of the NC Dinos, has been virtually closed since an accident in which one spectator was killed and two others were injured by a crashed structure on March 29. Some facilities are available, but the game has not been played since that day. The NC squad is currently only working on the away schedule for more than a month.

The return to NC Park was canceled on May 5, the desired time for the NC club to reopen, as the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport expressed its opinion on the need for a detailed safety inspection of NC Park on the 2nd. The louver, which caused the accident, has been demolished both inside and outside and received a B grade (in good condition) in the results of emergency safety inspections, but it has been said that it could take at least six months as the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport demanded a detailed safety diagnosis.

Therefore, the NC club prepared a temporary alternative home stadium. Lotte Giants announced that they will use Ulsan Munsu Stadium, which was used as the second ballpark, as a temporary home stadium in consultation with Ulsan City. NC is scheduled to play three consecutive home games against the Kiwoom Heroes in Ulsan scheduled for the 16th and 18th.

However, local public sentiment was not good. The commercial district of Masan, where Changwon NC Park is located, is heavily influenced by the baseball season, but if it takes another six months to reopen, the season is effectively over. There was a lot of concern that this season could be spent in a recession.

Changwon City believes that it can supplement the requirements of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's request for supplementation by the 18th, such as poor fixing of billboards and poor fastening of upper speaker bolts in the stands. In addition, in the case of precise safety diagnosis requested by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, it is believed that it can be done sufficiently while playing the game.

In addition, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport belatedly explained that the decision to reopen the baseball stadium is not the authority of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and that a precise safety diagnosis is only a recommendation and not a prerequisite for reopening. Changwon City, which had been passive so far, hurriedly set out to aim for 'quick reopening' as local public sentiment grew.

However, from the NC team's point of view, they have no choice but to carefully look at the situation. After the final 'OK' sign is dropped, we should discuss it with KBO and schedule a return to NC Park. Once the use of Ulsan's temporary stadium is confirmed, everything is cautious.
