Hanwha Life Ballpark in Daejeon had plenty of things to see. It featured a variety of fun and cutting-edge technologies including Infinity Pool, an 8-meter-high monster wall, a double-decker bullpen, and media glasses.
The Japanese team that participated in the Okinawa spring camp visited a new stadium to lay down their luggage after returning to Korea on Wednesday. Rumors have it that many players shouted "Wow" at the new stadium they encountered for the first time.
Hanwha captain Chae Eun-sung, who visited the ballpark for a fan signing event, one of the opening events on the 5th, said, "I feel blessed to be able to play baseball in a new stadium, and I felt like I should do well."
I haven't looked around the stadium yet, but it is definitely different from the old Hanwha Life Eagles Park. Chae Eun-sung said, "It was refreshing. The stadium I used to use before is old, and there were many difficulties even if the indoor practice range and weighting facilities were all home teams. (The new stadium) is up-to-date in everything, so I love it."
When Hanwha Life Insurance Ballpark was built, the opinion of the team was also reflected. "We talked a lot about locker rooms. There was no way to improve (the existing stadium) as the locker room itself is very old. I have told you a lot about the locker room because it is a place where you can relax. I also told you a lot about the movement of players including indoor practice areas," Chae said.
The locker room was newly created as a major league facility. In the center of the locker room, there was a sofa, a sleeping room, and a sauna. In addition, there is a separate shoe dryer in the personal locker drawer to facilitate spike management.
The ranking was based on the order of seniority. "We decided to choose the order of age first. I chose the one with extra space in the corner so as not to harm the older members," Chae said.
All that's left is to adapt to the new stadium as a home. Notably, an 8-meter-high "Monster Wall" is installed on the right side of Hanwha Life Insurance's ball park, which will add variables to the game.
Chae Eun-sung said, "If I practice and play, I think I'll feel (the effect of the new stadium)," and added, "However, I think it would be better to hit it well rather than be conscious of Monster Wall."
Chae Eun-sung said, "The spring camp is always exciting regardless of the previous year's performance. Whether individuals made investments or practiced at the club in winter, we did our best. I am looking forward to it as a new space, but I prepared it with that mindset every year. There is a ranking that I have set my sights on, but the only thing that I can do is do my best in the situation. You can't just try to win first place. I think I will do my best in the situation and the result will be evaluated after the season is over."
The first game at Hanwha Life Insurance Ballpark is an exhibition game against the Samsung Lions on Thursday. The home opener of the regular season is a game against the KIA Tigers on Wednesday.
