First of all, the NC Dinos' wandering life ends. Ulsan Munsu Stadium will be used as an alternative home stadium.

The NC club decided to use Ulsan Munsu Baseball Stadium as an alternative home stadium on the 8th. With Changwon NC Park's reopening postponed indefinitely, the decision was made to maintain stable performance of the team and to facilitate the smooth operation of the KBO League."

The club carefully reviewed various alternative stadiums during the holiday period and held consultations with Ulsan City immediately after the holiday. As a result of comprehensively considering fans' accessibility, convenience to watch, and stable operation of the team, Ulsan Munsu Baseball Stadium was finally chosen. In particular, thanks to the active cooperation of Ulsan City, a quick decision was made"I explained the background of the decision.

Lee Jin-man, CEO of the NC Dinos, said "We quickly reviewed several alternative stadiums with the support of KBO during the holiday period, and finally chose Munsu Baseball Stadium through consultation with Ulsan City." In particular, Ulsan City will be responsible for the overall maintenance, management, and repair of Munsu Baseball Stadium. I would like to express my deep gratitude to Ulsan City for its active cooperation" he said.

The use of Ulsan's alternative home stadium will start with a series against the Kiwoom Heroes, which was scheduled to be held at Changwon NC Park from the 16th to the 18th. The NC club will inform details, including viewing information, through the club's official website and SNS.

Meanwhile, the game has not been played since that day at NC Park, where a stadium facility (aluminum louver) crashed during a home game against the LG Twins on March 29 and killed a spectator.

Earlier last month, Changwon City, Changwon Facilities Corporation, and NC Dinos formed a joint task force to begin safety diagnosis, and all 313 aluminum louvers that caused the accident were demolished on April 28.

Initially, the NC club submitted a joint task force's report to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport with the aim of reopening on May 5, Children's Day, but even the three consecutive home series on Children's Day could not be held in Changwon. As a result of the safety inspection, it was determined that it would take more time to implement additional safety measures, so the three consecutive games against KT Wiz, which were scheduled to be held in Changwon from the 5th to the 7th, were moved to Suwon KT Wiz Park. The NC team is currently carrying out the schedule of the away game in the Seoul metropolitan area that was originally scheduled.

Not only the Children's Day series, but also the reopening of NC Park this season is not guaranteed. The NC club explained, `We did not reach a conclusion on the specific reopening schedule at the safety measures implementation inspection meeting attended by officials from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport on the 2nd.'

In the end, the reopening schedule was postponed indefinitely due to the judgment that fundamental safety measures were needed for NC Park facilities. Currently, NC Park is virtually closed. Some facilities, such as underground, are accessible, but most of them cannot be used normally. With the resumption of the home stadium pushed back without any promise, the home game schedule will be held at Munsu Stadium this season with the cooperation of Ulsan City.
