KBO has prepared an event item that never existed before. It is an open recruitment of the venue for the All-Star Game.
KBO announced on the 7th that it will conduct an open recruitment to select the venue for next year's All-Star Game.
Until now, the venue for the All-Star Game has been selected by KBO. While the purpose of hosting the regional circulation is basically preserved, stadiums with stories have been selected. For example, the All-Star Game was played in a new stadium or a stadium with some commemorative issues.
This open recruitment is the first event to be held. Based on the successful All-Star Game held at SSG Landers Field in Incheon in July, it will be held to improve fan service quality and revitalize the local economy through cross-regional festivals.
Local governments that want to host the All-Star Game can submit mandatory submission documents to KBO by the 27th.

Through this open recruitment, we can also look forward to the All-Star Game on Jeju Island. Jeju Ora Stadium hosted the second round of the All-Star Game in 2000. In 2018, he was also eager to host the All-Star Game. Cheongju, which has never hosted the All-Star Game, can also be a candidate based on the stadium that will play the first-team game in 2024. Ahead of this season, the stadium was repaired extensively.
KBO President Koo Hu-yeon said, `This year's All-Star Game was held with Incheon Metropolitan City, making it a richer feast than usual. Through this open recruitment, we hope that many local governments will be interested in next year's All-Star Game, and that local governments that want to host it will hold the All-Star Game to revitalize the local community. Through this, we hope that baseball fans will be able to enjoy a special joy and experience," he said.
