KBO said on the 2nd that it will change the schedule and location of the three consecutive games between KT and NC, which were scheduled to be held in Changwon from the 5th to the 7th, to Suwon.
He added that "the decision was made as it took time to implement additional safety measures according to the results of the safety inspection at Changwon NC Park."
As the venue of the three consecutive games has been changed, the schedule to be changed to Changwon during the match between the two teams scheduled to be held in Suwon will be confirmed later after consultation between the two teams.
Meanwhile, the joint task force of Changwon City, Changwon Facilities Corporation, and NC Dinos in South Gyeongsang Province held a meeting on the safety diagnosis of Changwon NC Park, but failed to gather opinions on the timing of the reopening of Changwon NC Park.
Once all 313 louvers (231 baseball stadiums and 82 parking lots) installed inside and outside the ballpark were demolished, a safety diagnosis result report was submitted to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.
The wait for Changwon baseball fans is getting longer. On March 29, an aluminum louver, 2.6 meters long and weighing 60 kilograms, installed about 17 meters above the outer wall of the third base side, crashed, killing three fans who visited the site happy to open baseball. Among them, A, a woman in her 20s, died two days after surgery.
Since then, controversy seems to be dragging on over the dispute over responsibility for the accident as well as the case of another accident after reopening. First of all, the game is not held at Changwon NC Park. Since then, NC has been spending the season in an abnormal way, such as exchanging schedules and playing away games or playing home games at opposing stadiums such as Sajik Stadium in Busan.
On the same day, the NC club announced that it would find a temporary substitute home stadium. With the reopening schedule postponed indefinitely due to the judgment that fundamental safety measures are needed for the days of Changwon NC Park, it will prepare an alternative home stadium to prevent league disruptions.
The NC club emphasized that "We believe that fundamental measures are urgently needed for the safety of citizens, the operation of the team, and the smooth progress of the KBO League, and that the decision and operation plan of the temporary alternative home stadium will be decided quickly with the KBO."
In order to ensure the safety of citizens, we will actively cooperate in preparing fundamental repair and safety measures for Changwon NC Park, and we plan to proceed with all procedures considering the stability of the league and the safety of the team as the top priority.
