Since the opening year of Pohang Baseball Stadium in 2012, the city has been hosting Samsung Lions games to promote professional sports and provide local fans with the opportunity to experience live games.

Last year, the Samsung Lions marked their resurgence as a traditional powerhouse by finishing second in the regular season and advancing to the Korean Series. This season, they are maintaining strong momentum and fiercely competing for the top positions.

If Samsung secures victories in this three-game series in Pohang, it could serve as a springboard for them to take the lead, and the enthusiasm of local fans is expected to reach new heights.

Pohang City has also worked hard to upgrade stadium facilities for the successful hosting of the games.

The city replaced the mound soil, prepared the field in advance according to the new three-foot line rule implemented this year, and completed improvements to the heating and cooling systems.

In addition, a "cooling shelter" will be operated on game days for spectators waiting outside the stadium for extended periods.

Kim Jeongsuk, Director of the Sports Industry Division, said, "Every year, we strive to bring professional baseball games closer to local fans and to improve our facilities," adding, "We hope that many baseball fans will visit Pohang for these games and experience the excitement and emotion of the event firsthand."
