The NC Dinos' 'Come Back Home' has been decided. NC manager Lee Ho-joon said, `It's been tough so far"Thank you very much" he said to Ulsan City for giving up a temporary home stadium.

NC officially announced on the 23rd that the reopening of Changwon NC Park was confirmed on May 30th.

NC had a life accident at Changwon NC Park, its home stadium, in April. It took nearly two months to inspect the safety of the stadium. NC decided to use Ulsan Munsu Stadium as its temporary home stadium.

However, the return was accelerated.

NC said it had initially discussed with Ulsan City that it would use Ulsan Munsu Baseball Stadium by the end of June, but made this decision in consideration of the local commercial district, KBO League fans, and team management.

Coach Lee Ho-joon also welcomed the move.

Coach Lee Ho-joon met with reporters before the match against Doosan Bears in Jamsil and confessed that it had been difficult so far.

Director Lee said, `It was a pity that there was not enough training space for the coach. From the players' point of view, they must have missed their families and wanted to eat home-cooked meals, but that must have been difficult. It doesn't seem like a big deal to keep packing and moving on the bus, but it's actually very difficult."

Coach Lee Ho-joon thanked the players for holding out well in poor conditions.

Coach Lee Ho-joon said, `It's one of the two. It's either just collapsing or uniting to do better and show good performance to fans at times like this. We were the latter. Senior players, including captain Park Min-woo, created such an atmosphere. I think that's why we've become more solid."

Coach Lee Ho-joon missed the support of his home fans. "When we hear the other team's cheering sound suddenly on top of our dugout, the players clearly feel it," he said. There must have been sadness. When we return home, our fans want to fill the ballpark and play baseball with loud cheers. I'd really appreciate it if you could do that," he said, asking for a lot of support.

He also did not forget to thank Ulsan.

Coach Lee Ho-joon thanked Ulsan City for willingly using the stadium when he couldn't even find a direction to go. It's my personal opinion, but I think it would be good to do a return match with Lotte in Ulsan. It's a personal opinion. I hope to continue my relationship with Ulsan. Anyway, thank you so much," he bowed his head.

Lee Jin-man, CEO of NC Dinos, expressed his deepest condolences once again to those who changed their reputation in this accident, and sincerely apologize to the bereaved families and the injured. We will cooperate with Changwon City and Changwon Facilities Corporation to make it a baseball stadium where citizens and fans can visit with confidence with safety as a top priority. I will repay the many fans who have trusted NC for a long time with baseball that will warm their hearts and impress them."
