Gyeongju City announced on the 21st that the "Gyeongju Baseball Park 3 pitches" is scheduled to be completed in May.
Gyeongju City explained, "Baseball Park 3 Stadium is a facility to host the national baseball tournament, which is currently being divided with Pohang City, alone in the future, and was promoted to expand the base of sports for all, such as baseball competitions for office workers and co-workers."
According to Gyeongju City, the stadium is being built on a 35,540㎡ site at 420-1 Songok-dong, Gyeongju, and 7.2 billion won (1 billion won in special education tax, 900 million won in provincial expenses, 5.3 billion won in municipal expenses) has been spent on the project.
Currently, the construction of various auxiliary facilities such as dugouts and bullpens, as well as parking lots, grandstands, toilets, multipurpose playgrounds, and access roads, has reached the final stage, centering on the front page of a regular baseball stadium. Construction began in earnest in November of the same year after approval and publication of the implementation plan in October 2024.
A city official said, "When the three baseball parks are completed, the influx of athletes and visitors will increase significantly by attracting national and large-scale baseball tournaments, which will not only revitalize the local economy but also strengthen its competitiveness as a stay-at-home sports tourism city."
Gyeongju Mayor Joo Nak-young also stressed, "Baseball Park's 3rd stadium is Gyeongju's core sports infrastructure that encompasses professional and daily sports," adding, "We will focus our administrative power to open without a hitch by fully managing the process until the time of completion."
