The first 12 million spectators are seen. The KBO League surpassed 6 million spectators in the least games ever.

KBO League games were held at five stadiums nationwide on the 17th. A total of 77,583 spectators gathered at the five stadiums. The game between the Hanwha Eagles and the Lotte Giants at Sajik Stadium in Busan sold out 22,669.

It's a great trend, considering the game started at 6:30 p.m. on a weekday. The game has attracted great attention even before the start of the series due to Hanwha's recent rise to No. 1 and Lotte's showdown in third place, and proved its interest by saying that the game was sold out at night on weekdays.

However, 15,069 spectators gathered in the NC Dinos and LG Twins game at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul, and the Doosan Bears and Samsung Lions game at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu was also not sold out, but more than 20,000 spectators gathered for the weekday game. The Daegu crowd record is 23,044 people.

On this day, the KBO League recorded 6,046,360 spectators this season. This is the minimum number of games to reach 6 million. It exceeded 6 million in 350 games, and the previous record was 418 games recorded last year. It is truly a "crazy" momentum, advancing last year's record by 68 games.




The average number of spectators per game this season is 17,275. The simple calculation shows that about 12.44 million spectators will enter if they play 144 games per team and 720 games in total.

Then, for the first time ever, 12 million spectators can also be exceeded. The highest number of spectators ever recorded was 10,887,705 last year. Not only 11 million spectators for the first time this season, but also more than 12 million can be seen.

It is a great professional baseball fever.
