Hanwha Eagles responded to Sports Chosun's criticism of Hanwha Life Ball Park safety issues in Daejeon.
Hanwha held a long-awaited opening ceremony of its new baseball stadium, Hanwha Life Ball Park, on Saturday. The team even held a game against Cheongbaek on Sunday to adjust to its new home stadium.
This is the new stadium that fans who are passionate about baseball and the Eagles have longed for. The introduction of Infinity Pool, Monster Wall, Double-story bullpen and main hall for the first time in Korea stimulated baseball fans' curiosity. Notably, the locker and training facility used by the home team Hanwha Eagles made the stadium look perfect.바카라
However, there was a "Tick in the Jade." It was a safety concern. Sports Chosun reported that there is a high possibility of a batting accident as the roadway and the left fence of the outfield are too close. (New stadium in Daejeon that is too close to India and the roadway on Jan. 3... Home run could cause a big accident?) Hanwha also knew that it would not happen often, but if a 140-meter home run is made, it could cause an accident. Batters are getting better and faster in recent years, and pitchers' balls are getting faster. As the repulsion of official balls is also on the rise, 140-meter home runs are often made. The space on the left field has no structure due to the entrance passage for spectators, and there was a high possibility that the ball could fly to the pavement or the roadway.
Hanwha and Daejeon City recognized the problem after Sports Chosun's report and installed a large net in the left outfield. The net was connected from the electronic display to the left foul pole. Considering the angle of launch of home runs by batters, we prepared for an accident that could happen. It's not good in terms of aesthetics, but safety came first.
That was not the end of the problem. A clear look inside the stadium in India was also a factor that could cause a big accident. The sidewalk and the stadium were divided into steel fences, and fans who couldn't get tickets for the game of interest could watch it if they decided. Equity of watching baseball for free without buying a ticket is also a problem, but the most important thing was safety. There was a risk of crushing if many fans flocked to the stadium, and since it was right next to the road, if they fell, it could lead to a terrible accident. Since the entrance to the outfield is located, the congestion can be huge.
Sports Chosun once again emphasized that the problem of home run batting has been resolved, but that preparations are needed before the season begins. (On Feb. 13, Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon, the possibility of a major accident with home run batting, put out the urgent fire... but there is another problem left.)
In response, Hanwha informed the team of countermeasures just in time for the opening ceremony. "The structure will be installed behind the left fence. The measure is aimed at preventing the leakage of balls and reducing complaints caused by light and noise. Once installed, it will be impossible to watch baseball games outside," a Hanwha official said.
The official added, "We are currently waiting for approval and permission for the construction. We plan to complete the construction in time for the opening of the regular season."
