Spring has definitely arrived in Busan for ‘Gudo’. As the performance rises vertically, it continues to hit the box office. Even after a complete defeat for a day, the fans of ‘Gudo’ did not leave Sajik Stadium. 

Lotte suffered a 0-5 defeat in the regular season SSG Landers match of the ‘2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League’ held at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 20th. As a result, Lotte lost the first place with 22 wins and 13 losses in the season. I gave the ‘Top D’ seat back to SSG Landers.

Lotte, which has emerged as the nucleus of the competition for the lead in the KBO League, while gaining momentum. As Lotte’s performance improved, baseball fans in Busan began to return to the baseball field again.

In particular, the three-game series with SSG in the form of a ‘preview Korean series’ predicted a great success early on. Lotte prepared an event by naming the three-game series against SSG starting on the 19th as the ‘Busan Series’. In the game on the 19th, 19,011 spectators came to record the highest number of spectators on a weekday. 

The highlight was the game on the 20th. This day was held as the ‘Busan Festival’. The stadium was dyed red by giving all spectators entry-level camellia uniforms (M/XL) on a first-come, first-served basis. On that day, 22,990 spectators at Sajik Stadium wore camellia uniforms and colored the baseball field with camellia waves. 

Cheers and heat that shook the stadium covered the baseball field. However, the Lotte team failed to support the passion of the fans with a performance that matched the match.

Lotte’s starter Dan Strayley gave up 5 runs (4 earned runs) in 5 innings, and the other line only allowed SSG starter Kim Gwang-hyun to produce 1 hit in 6 innings. 

In the end, Lotte was completely defeated in 2 hours and 36 minutes in the big match that day. 

However, the fans who visited Sajik Stadium that day did not leave the stands until the end. I lost the game, but I enjoyed all the events scheduled after the game. The Lotte club held a ‘resignation fan night’ event. Everyone enjoyed the festival while playing the hit song playlist. Lotte cheering songs such as the latest hits, Busan Seagull, and Come Back to Busan Port rang out. 체스카지노

Afterwards, the enthusiasm of the Sajik FAN Night was further heated through the mixing of cheering songs by DJ ‘Aster’, who is active worldwide, and the performance of ‘Gale Road’ by singer ‘Lee Hyuk’ from the group ‘Norazo’. After the fireworks display, all the time services of Sajik Karaoke were finished. 

In the event that lasted about an hour, fans enjoyed the spring of the baseball field while enjoying themselves to the end. /jhrae@osen.co.kr
