"From the perspective of the team and the coaching staff, Ulsan City is so grateful. Shouldn't we answer this gratitude with betrayal?"

NC Dinos have a temporary home. Starting on the 16th, Ulsan Munsu Baseball Stadium will be used as a home.

There is a limitation of 'for the time being'. Ulsan City and Ulsan City have agreed to use Munsu Baseball Stadium by June. Before that, if Changwon City's NC Park inspection is completed well, there may be room for an early return. On the contrary, if you are unsure about your safety, you may stay in Ulsan all season.




"Ulsan is not really us, but Lotte's second home," NC manager Lee Ho-joon said when he met in Ulsan on the 16th. Still, thank you for caring about us, and when I came here today, the ballpark and related facilities were very clean. I really appreciate it."

It is fortunate to have completed the difficult and tiring expedition in 47 days, including sufficient training time, securing related facilities such as indoor practice grounds, and solving long distances. Coach Lee Ho-joon said, "It's really hard to pack a 15-day away clothing bag…I had a hard time going to the laundromat because I was a player and a coach. I'm tired of staying late at the hotel, and I don't have enough training time." "The white home uniform feels unfamiliar..." he added.

Unexpectedly, he expressed his determination about the possibility of a comeback in Changwon. Coach Lee Ho-joon expressed his intention clearly, even though he drew the line, "'It's not me, it's what the club does.'"




"Don't expect players (to return to Changwon), we reiterated that we should focus on baseball." The players were disappointed because they kept saying it worked and then it didn't. The club must keep its loyalty to Ulsan City That's what they said. I feel the same way. You've helped us so much, but there's a way to do it. We can't answer this gratitude with betrayal, can we?"

However, head coach Lee Ho-joon said, "It's heartbreaking" to merchants around NC Park and ballpark. I hope it works out well," he said, expressing his regret.

Munsu Baseball Stadium has been largely transformed into NC's home stadium. Most of the fences in the baseball stadium were filled with advertisements from NC Park.




However, the size and structure of the baseball stadium are different, and the advertising location is significantly lacking compared to NC Park, the latest baseball stadium. In addition, in the case of merchants inside the baseball stadium, such as food and beverage, it is difficult to relocate due to the contractual relationship of Ulsan City.

Ulsan City is preparing for a major remodeling of Munsu Baseball Stadium (12,000 seats) in the future. The number of spectators will be increased to 18,000, and convenience facilities for spectators will also be increased significantly. As the outfield is composed of barren hills without spectators, and there is only one floor of infield seats, there is no problem with such expansion.

For now, NC took a breather. All that's left is to run without hesitation.
