As a result, it's a failure to forecast demand. Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon, the new stadium of the Hanwha Eagles, has made the stands too small.
No matter how new the stadium is, no matter how good Hanwha is, they would not have thought it would be this high.
Only four out of 43 times in the first half of the game were Hanwha not sold out. It was almost sold out, too.
Hanwha had a total of 727,959 spectators in the first half of 43 games. The average is 16,929 per game. Hanwha Life Ballpark has a capacity of 17,000. The total number of people who can come to 43 games is 731,000. There were only 3,041 empty stands in 43 games. A phenomenal 99.58% seat occupancy. 39 out of 43 games were sold out.
There was a sell-out failure at the beginning of the season. It was 748 players short of the Lotte Giants on April 2nd (Wednesday) and 441 players short of the next day (Thursday). The Kiwoom Heroes match on April 12 was Saturday, but there were the most vacancies this season. 1543 copies were sold less. At that time, the weather was not good, with the cancellation of rain in the Seoul metropolitan area, and Hanwha remained in seventh place with 7 wins and 10 losses at the time, so the situation was not so good. However, Hanwha has been selling out for 24 consecutive games since then. Then, on June 10, the Doosan Bears were short of 309 tickets, so they could not continue their sell-out record. Since then, 11 consecutive games have been sold out until the last day of the first half.

Since the new stadium was first unveiled, there have been many opinions that the 17,000-seat stands are too small, and so have the results.
17,000 seats feel too small, with the effect of the new stadium and Hanwha's performance, which ranked first, added to the popularity of baseball, which is the best in professional baseball history. Hanwha has an overwhelming winning percentage at home.
Hanwha, which is ranked second after Lotte Giants (23 wins, 1 draw and 19 losses, 0.548) with 24 wins and 20 losses and a winning rate of 545 on the road, is ranked first at home with 28 wins, 2 draws and 13 losses and a winning rate of 6803. KIA Tigers are second with 26 wins, 1 draw and 16 losses (0.619), and LG Twins are third with 27 wins and 18 losses (0.600).
The 17,000 seats are the second smallest after Gocheok Sky Dome (16,000 seats), the home stadium of Kiwoom Heroes. Still, as the crowd in each game is full, the overall audience ranking in the first half is sixth. KIA, which accommodates 20,500 people, recorded 725,267 and an average of 16,867 in 43 games like Hanwha, which was less than Hanwha.
Meanwhile, the Samsung Lions ranked first in the spectatorship in the first half of the year. The only one in the first half exceeded 1 million spectators with 1,046,094 in 46 games and an average of 22,741 in the first half.
LG ranked second with 958,488 in 45 games and an average of 21,300, while Lotte ranked third with 955,974 in 46 games and an average of 27,782. Samsung, the No. 1 spectator, also had a 94.75% seat share.
