Eat and drink delicious food and cheer at the top of your lungs to the organized cheering squad.

a place reminiscent of a furnace of passion. It is Daegu Lions Park, the home stadium of the Samsung Lions.

For the first time in professional baseball history, Samsung surpassed the mark of 1.4 million spectators in the team season. He set a new record, exceeding the LG Twins' 1,397,499 last season, which was the highest attendance record in a season.




Samsung filled 24,000 seats in a home game against the Kiwoom Heroes at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 5th, recording a full attendance.

On this day, the Samsung club announced that 'It recorded its 47th sellout of the season' and that 'The total number of spectators in the season exceeded the number of spectators in a single season in the KBO League with 1.4 million,1262 spectators'

Amid Samsung's strides, the KBO league recorded a total of 10.9 million, 1,173 (average 17,167) on the same day, exceeding 10,887,705 last season, setting a new record for the most spectators in a single season.




It is a meaningful record and achievement. Despite the handicaps of local teams, Samsung has been making all-out marketing efforts to create an audience-friendly baseball stadium environment in the 2020s.

The approach of turning the ballpark into a playground, such as food, cheering, photos, and goods, appealed greatly to emerging baseball fans who are reorganizing themselves mainly for MZ women. The audience began to grow every season in a cascade.

Even in the season when the performance was not good, Samsung began to remain in the lead in the number of spectators.

When the performance was supported, the audience exploded. Last season, when he advanced to the Korean Series for the first time in nine years, he ranked second, surpassing 1.3 million spectators, which is not easy as a local team.




Samsung has attracted an average of 22,972 spectators in 61 home games this season. A phenomenal figure close to selling out every game regardless of weekday weekends. This is an increase of more than 4,000 people compared to Samsung's average regular season home attendance of 18,452 last season, which was all-time high.

The roller coaster season, which has ups and downs this season, seems to stimulate Samsung fans more.

Samsung once plunged to eighth place amid slump in July and August. Fans were also disappointed with the upcoming fall baseball season.

However, Samsung fans didn't stop at the ballpark. Criticism and support are two separate issues. In the midst of genuine affection, the prehistoric group began to cheer up in late August.

He has lowered Lotte with eight wins and two losses in the last 10 games and has risen to fourth place. The bullpen, which has repeatedly given up a come-from-behind loss, settled down as Kim Jae-yoon and Kim Tae-hoon recovered their ball power. Kim Ji-chan, the advance guard of the attack, joined the team after shaking off his injury, and Koo Ja-wook, the center of the lineup, who had been slowing down slightly, is leading the lineup by reviving it with casual hitting.

Fans who gave up and regained their autumn hopes are enthusiastic about dramatic rebound dramas such as 8 of Promise.

Despite being the lowest against Kiwoom on the 5th, he made Rafak an exciting playground with full attendance. Samsung fanned fans' excitement by winning 8-3 amid Koo Ja-wook's six-run performance, including multiple home runs. When starter Choi Won-tae was shaken, the bench's bold judgment to keep the lead by operating the bullpen early added to the fun of baseball.

The record is not the end. This season, Samsung has 10 more home games to play. First of all, it is certain that the weekend's two consecutive games against the second-place Hanwha Eagles will be sold out on the 6th and 7th. In this case, it is already close to 1.45 million.

If the current trend continues, it is certain that the audience will surpass 1.6 million. The fact that Samsung is expected to continue its fierce competition for 「Autumn Baseball」 until the end of the season is also expected to serve as a positive factor for the all-time box office success.

Lotte Giants (1,385,72) and LG Twins (1,379,236) are blooming behind Samsung, which ranks first in the total number of spectators in the season. Samsung ranks first in the average number of home spectators, followed by LG (21,551) and Lotte (29,918).
