It is virtually confirmed that it will surpass 6 million in the first half of the year.

Even if the Gocheok LG Twins-Kium Heroes match is held due to rain across the country on the 4th, the last day of the first half, 6 million people can be achieved.

Unfortunately, on the 3rd, he failed to achieve the minimum number of 6 million in all-time games. All five games were held because it did not rain across the country, with a total of 63,727 spectators visiting 5,993,122. It was just 6878 short of 6 million.

If the number of players exceeds 6,878 on the 4th, 6 million will be achieved. If the game is not held due to rain in Jamsil (Lotte-Doosan match), Daegu (KIA-Samsung match), Daejeon (KT-Hanwha match), and Changwon (SSG-NC match), where baseball will be held on the 4th, 6,878 people will be able to pass the game even if the game is held only at Gocheok Sky Dome.

Since 11,185 people visited Gocheok on the 2nd and 11,135 people visited on the 3rd, it is expected that around 10,000 spectators will visit on the 4th.

No matter how many games are held, the minimum number of games ever exceeded 6 million, which is less than 419 games in 2012. If one game is held, it will be 414 games, and if all five games are held, it will be 418 games.

So far, 1 million to 5 million people have failed to break the 2012 record. This time, however, the number will reach 6 million faster than in 2012.

This means that the audience did not cool down even at this time of year, when the number of spectators is going from 5 million to 6 million this year compared to 2012.

In 2012, 87 games were needed from 5 million to 6 million, but this year, it is achieved in up to 69 to 73 games, which means that spectators are still visiting the ballpark. The late arrival of the rainy season may have affected it.

So far, 14,511 spectators per game are visiting. If you simply substitute 720 games, it is calculated that up to 10,447,920 players are possible. It is possible to cross the 9 million audience for the first time in history and immediately open the era of 10 million people.

In terms of average audience, LG ranks first with 18,604, KIA ranks second with 17,763, and Doosan ranks third with 17,408. Samsung is fourth with 16,462 and Lotte is fifth with 16,461. SSG ranked sixth with 15,068. After that, KT (11,838), Hanwha (11,238), NC (10,302), and Kiwoom (10,181).

We don't know which team will take the first place, and the fifth intensity is also open to Kiwoom, who is still in 10th place, so the ranking fight is expected to be fierce until the end of the season, so if the crowd continues, we may meet 10 million people of our dreams.
