After surpassing 10 million fans for the first time ever, professional baseball reached another milestone this year.

The LG Twins set a new record for the largest seasonal attendance in the history of professional baseball with their game against the Kiwoom Heroes at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on Sept. 26.

Twenty-one thousand five hundred and ninety-three fans attended the final game of the home stand, bringing the total attendance to 1,374,999, surpassing the 1,381,818 mobilized by the Lotte Giants in 2009.

That was the year Lotte, led by Jerry Royster’s “no-fear” mentality, took the box office by storm, turning Busan’s Sajik Stadium into a giant karaoke bar.

This year, LG rode the baseball fever to break the Jamsil Stadium season attendance record (1,291,703) set by the Doosan Bears in 2012, and recorded a total of 25 sellouts, surpassing the franchise’s single-season record of 16 set in 2012.

LG also set a new record for cumulative attendance in professional sports with 34 million fans this season.

This season, LG continued to promote the team’s support culture, food, and merchandise through movies, entertainment programs, and YouTube collaborations to attract young fans.

To boost attendance during the off-season, which was unusually hot, the company held summer-specific events such as Summer Christmas and Summer Holic.

In-seok Kim, CEO of LG Sports, said, “I would like to express my sincere gratitude to our fans for making the record for the highest attendance in a single season. We will do our best to reward you with even greater emotions,” he promised.

Prior to the game, LG coach Yoon Kyung-yup said, “Thanks to the fans‘ passionate support, we won the first place, but I am very sorry that the team did not win the first place in the regular season.” “We have one last chance, so we will do our best to repay the fans’ support,” he said.

He also said, “We will always train LG players to be the best fan service team in the league. It is something that all baseball players should be grateful for that fans come to the ballpark in such large numbers.” 에볼루션 바카라사이트
