NC Dinos join KBO in demanding new site for stadium

The NC Dinos on Wednesday joined the country’s top baseball league in demanding their home city change the site for the team’s new stadium, citing accessibility problems with the city’s original choice.

The Dinos, an expansion Korea Baseball Organization club, said in a press release that they will formally ask Changwon, South Gyeongsang Province, to pick a different location for the team’s new ballpark.

The Dinos joined the KBO this year as the league’s ninth and newest team. They’re currently playing at the renovated Masan Stadium, which can seat up to 20,000 fans. Under an agreement with the KBO, reached when the Dinos were approved as an expansion club, Changwon must complete a new stadium with at least 25,000 seats by 2016. (Yonhap News)
