A total of 58,845 people visited the KBO League in three games, Jamsil (SSG-LG match), Daegu (Hanwha-Samsung match), and Changwon (KIA-NC match), held on the 7th. It reached 10,999,058 in 640 games.
By the 6th, the number had reached 10.94 million,213, and if the number exceeded 59,787 in the three matches on the day, it was able to achieve 11 million for the first time in history.
First, the Jamsil game was sold out. 23,750 people sold out early before the start of the game. LG recorded its 38th home sell-out, surpassing the previous season's most spectators of 1,397,499 last year with 1,402,986 home spectators and recording LG's first 1.4 million spectators.
Daegu and Changwon were uncertain to start the game due to rain before the game, but Daegu was able to start at 5 o'clock by preparing for the game as the rain ended early. And with the ability to play, 24,000 people, who were already sold out at 12:23 p.m., will be able to watch baseball.
Samsung, which surpassed 1.4 million spectators for the first time in KBO League history on the 5th, sold out for the 49th time on the day, ranking first in spectators this season with a total of 1,449,262 spectators. At this rate, the figure could exceed 1.6 million, following the first 1.5 million in history.
The Changwon game was uncertain even at 5 o'clock, the opening time of the game. However, he waited as long as an hour and 10 minutes to start the game. If the number of spectators who visited Changwon NC Park exceeded 12,037 people, it would have exceeded 11 million. Unfortunately, the final number of spectators in Changwon was 11,095, which was 942 less, and the joy of 11 million people was postponed to the next game.
Five games are scheduled to be held on the 9th, but just one game can achieve 11 million people.
If the current trend continues, it is possible to reach 12.3 million, which can be expected to surpass 12 million for the first time in history.
