[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Park Dong-wook] Following the KBO (Korea Baseball Organization)'s decision to allow spectators back into professional baseball league games, Daegu City is focusing on COVID-19 prevention measures, including holding a rehearsal at Samsung Lions Park baseball stadium on the 27th.

According to Daegu City, Samsung Lions, who have been playing games without spectators since the season opener against NC on May 5, will allow up to 10% (2,377 seats) of total seating capacity to be filled starting from the game against Hanwha on the 28th.

The number of spectators will be gradually increased at two-week intervals. Spectators must verify their entry using the 'Electronic Entry Log' (QR code) and undergo temperature checks upon entry. Tickets will be sold online only.

The spectator seats will be operated with only three rows open at each of the three main entrances (1st base, 3rd base, and outfield side). Attendees must wear masks, high-five cheering is prohibited, and seat movement will be controlled. Only simple beverages are allowed to be consumed in the stands, and food can only be eaten at separate tasting stations installed in the aisles. In relation to this, Daegu City will conduct a rehearsal on the morning of the 27th at 11 a.m. at Samsung Lions Park in Suseong District, simulating the game and assuming spectator movements.

Meanwhile, on the 26th, except for Daejeon and Gwangju, where there are concerns about community infection spread, 10% of the total seating capacity was allowed to enter at three stadiums: Jamsil and Gocheok in Seoul, and Suwon. Tickets for these three stadiums, sold exclusively online, were mostly sold out the day before.
