The Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) takes another step toward supporting marginalized and vulnerable baseball fans.

On the 28th, the KBO announced, "Starting in 2023, the KBO League broadcast audio support service for visually impaired spectators at Seoul Jamsil Baseball Stadium, Busan Sajik Baseball Stadium, and Gwangju-Kia Champions Field has been expanded to include Daejeon Hanwha Life Eagles Park this year, bringing the total to four ballparks."

This service was introduced to enhance the convenience of visually impaired fans attending games in person and to provide them with the same viewing experience as non-disabled fans. Visually impaired spectators watching live at the stadium can listen to the TV broadcast audio in real time via low-power FM radio terminals and earphones, enabling a more convenient and immersive game-watching experience.

The service will be available starting April 30 and will operate continuously for all regular-season and postseason games held at the four ballparks.

Spectators wishing to use the service can visit the KBO broadcast audio support information desk inside Jamsil, Sajik, Gwangju, or Daejeon ballparks to rent terminals free of charge.

Terminals can be rented at Jamsil Baseball Stadium next to the first-base infield glove rental booth near Gates 2-3; at Sajik Stadium near Gates 1-7 in the first-base outfield; at Gwangju-Kia Champions Field at the first-floor central entrance and the fifth-floor central corridor; and at Daejeon Hanwha Life Eagles Park on the second-floor corridor near the third-base infield.

Additionally, spectators can request advance reservations, as well as delivery and pickup of terminals at their seats, by calling the dedicated landline number 1666-0720.

This project is being carried out with support from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and cooperation from KBO League broadcast partners. The KBO stated, "We plan to continue our efforts to provide a discrimination-free baseball viewing environment."
