Gwangju baseball is as hot as the heat wave. But the unwelcome downpours are grumpy.

KIA Tigers explained on the 10th that "all 20,500 seats were sold out as of 17:15 minutes before the start of the match against the Samsung Lions at KIA Champions Field in Gwangju" and "the 21st time of the season, the highest sales in a season in the club's history (21 times in 2009)." Gwangju Champions Field, which had recorded 928,204 home spectators until the previous day, sold out on the 10th, recording 948,704 people, heading toward 1 million spectators.

But the weather is causing disruption to the feast. Thirty minutes before the start of the match, a sudden local downpour began in Champions Field. Large tarps were quickly laid down, and the spectators, who filled the stands, rushed to escape indoors.

It is expected to be a rain passing by due to the distribution of rain clouds, but a short moment of rain has caused a lot of rain to wet the ground. It is unclear whether the event will be held normally.

A club official said "I don't think it will be possible to hold the event on time at 6 p.m"Referring to the possibility of initiating a delay.
