NC will play the first game of the weekend series against the Kiwoom Heroes at Munsu Stadium in Ulsan on the 16th.
Munsu Stadium is a small baseball stadium with 12,000 seats. If Changwon NC Park, a state-of-the-art baseball stadium that accommodates 18,000 people, is a tile-roofed house like a palace, Munsu Stadium is close to a simple private house.
Still, it is an NC club that has been wandering for more than a month due to an unfortunate accident that occurred at its home stadium on March 29, shortly after the opening. Although it is said to be temporary, once the residence has been decided, it is comfortable to feel comfortable.
Since the launch of professional baseball in 1982, NC has been in a ridiculous position as a team that has used temporary stadiums twice since its foundation due to an unprecedented death of spectators during a game. Earlier, the reason why Samsung's second home stadium, Pohang Baseball Stadium, was used as its home was because NC Park was delayed due to Changwon City's indecisive administration and controversy over site selection.
Although there is a strong talk of relocating the Ulsan base, the agreement between NC and Changwon will be until 2044. Given Changwon City's response to the current Dinos comeback home, it is not easy in reality to terminate the contract due to this incident.
In addition, if the use of Ulsan Munsu Stadium is prolonged, not only Changwon but also NC will lose money. Right now, Ulsan is Lotte's second home stadium. It is difficult to change the stadium facilities according to NC's circumstances and circumstances. The size of the stands is only the existing ⅔, and it is not easy for NC fans, who will mainly live in Changwon, to visit Ulsan for ferris wheel.
Considering the difficulty of mobilizing spectators, the resulting entrance revenue, and the position of advertisements, NC is better to return to Changwon as soon as possible as long as safety is guaranteed. The problem is the lack of trust in Changwon City's safety diagnosis or behavior.

Choi Sung-young is the starting player for NC on the day. He pitched in 11 games (starting 2) this season, recording a 2-1 record and a 5.59 ERA with two holds. In particular, he showed off his stability by playing five innings in two consecutive games against the Lotte Giants on the 2nd and the Doosan Bears on the 11th.
Kiwoom's starting pitcher who dreams of escaping six consecutive losses is Kim Sun-ki. Kim Sun-ki will be the starting pitcher. He took the mound 14 times this season and lost four times without a victory. He has not completed five innings this season. He has lost four games and an ERA of 6.58 without winning in 14 appearances (starting five) this season.
Still, NC did well with 14 wins, 1 draw and 14 losses and a winning rate of 50% in 29 away games (excluding 3 home games in Busan). They include seven consecutive wins.
Changwon City announced its intention to reopen after completing the maintenance of NC Park facilities by the 18th, but NC has decided to use Ulsan Munsu Stadium as scheduled.
