Gocheok Skydome, home stadium of the Kiwoom Heroes, was once again filled with intense baseball fervor. On the weekend, crowds of fans visiting Gocheok packed the stands for two consecutive days.

On the afternoon of the 25th, Kiwoom Heroes officially announced at their home game against the Samsung Lions at Seoul Gocheok Skydome, part of the '2026 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League', that "as of 6:06 p.m., all 16,000 seats were sold out."

This sellout marks the second consecutive day following the previous day (the 24th) and is Kiwoom's sixth sellout crowd of the season. From before the game began, the area around Gocheok Dome was packed with fans cheering for both teams. In particular, the matchup between Samsung, which has fallen into a five-game losing streak and is now in a desperate situation, and Kiwoom, aiming to build wins at home, stimulated fans' purchasing power.

Kiwoom is demonstrating even more formidable crowd-drawing power this season. By continuing the 'sellout march' for every weekend series, the team is firmly establishing itself as a reliable box-office draw for the KBO League.

The pitcher's mound duel before a full house was also intriguing. With an urgent need to break their five-game losing streak, Samsung named Won Tae-in as the starting pitcher to turn the tide. In response, the home team Kiwoom countered with Ha Young-min.

The heat at Gocheok Dome is expected to continue through tomorrow. This is because the 26th marks the retirement ceremony for Heroes legend and coach Park Byung-ho (40). With sellouts recorded on both the 24th and 25th, if the Sunday game on the final day of the series on the 26th also sells out, this three-game series against Samsung will leave behind the rare record of a 'series-wide sellout'.
