The last day of Hanwha Life Eagles Park. The new record march continued.

Hanwha said all 12,000 seats were sold out in the final game of the season against the NC Dinos at Hanwha Life Eagles Park in Daejeon on the 29th.

Hanwha entered the all-time crowd. Ryu Hyun-jin returned from the Major League, raising expectations for his performance. He got off to an all-time start with 8 wins and 2 losses in the opening 10 games, but after that, he slowed down little by little and eventually suffered a storm such as a manager change.



Hanwha fans were constantly visiting. Along with selling out 17 consecutive games, the most in the KBO League, it also sold out 47 times, a new record for the most sold out in a season. The previous record was sold out 36 times by the Samsung Lions in 1995.

The 29th is also the last game of Hanwha Life Eagles Park. Hanwha will move to the next new stadium from 2025 and make a new start.



The last day of Eagles Park. And with the retirement ceremony of Jung Woo-ram, the first and only 1,000-game player in the KBO League, tickets began to be sold early.

In the end, all 12,000 seats were sold at 3:16 p.m., about an hour and 44 minutes before the start of the game.



With the sell-out of the day, Hanwha recorded 804,204 spectators for the season, surpassing 800,000 spectators for the first time in the club.
