SSG Landers’ home stadium, Incheon SSG Landers Field스포츠토토, has completed the complete replacement work.
On the 31st, the SSG team said, “It was the first time since the baseball field opened in 2002 that the ground was completely replaced. Until last year, SSG Landers Field in Incheon had problems with water pooling on the ground and partial grass not growing when it rained. Drainage due to deterioration of the ground Deterioration of function was a problem. By removing the sediment accumulated for a long time in the soil under the ground, the problem of ground drainage and grass growth was solved.”
SSG discussed the ground improvement project with Incheon Metropolitan City during the last season, and Incheon Metropolitan City also agreed on the need for ground replacement and proceeded with this construction.
The construction was carried out for about 60 days from January, and the soil and grass in the infield and outfield were completely replaced, and the impermeable layer ground up to 45 cm deep was also changed. The turf is Kentucky Bluegrass, which is used by most stadiums in the country.
SSG collected the opinions of the coaching staff and the players, laid artificial turf in the outfield foul area, and also worked on flattening. Improvements to the viewing environment for baseball stadium users have also been completed, such as renovating seats in the home run couple zone, replacing the floor of the ramp at the entrance of the stadium, and new painting of the underground parking lot.
Captain Hanyusum said, “Due to poor ground conditions during the summer rainy season, both home and away players had difficulties defending. Through this ground replacement work, the risk of injury has been reduced, and I think the players will be able to show even better performance.” I would like to express my gratitude to Incheon City and the club for their efforts on behalf of the project.”
