NC Dinos will remain in Changwon. Despite prolonged rumors and concerns, the team has ultimately reached a conclusion through negotiations with Changwon Special City.

On the 20th, NC Dinos stated, "We trust once again that Changwon Special City values its baseball fans and will make baseball a source of pride for Changwon, and we intend to continue operating the franchise in Changwon."

NC added, "For nearly a year and a half, we have been in discussions with Changwon Special City regarding improvements to stadium facilities, accessibility and fan viewing environments, and establishing a stable foundation for franchise operations. During this period, Changwon Special City demonstrated its strong commitment to address issues repeatedly raised by the team and fans, implementing responsible measures. Some items, including expanded bus routes, have already been put into practice."

Recognizing the need for responsible facility management, Changwon Special City has taken full responsibility for managing all facilities at Changwon NC Park and Masan Baseball Stadium through the Changwon Facilities Management Corporation since January 1 of this year.

Many challenges remain unresolved. The team noted, "Long-term tasks such as improving player training facilities, expanding parking lots for fans, and operating expanded railway routes still require time, raising concerns. However, Changwon Special City has strongly affirmed its determination to continue pursuing these issues in line with the originally agreed direction."

The conclusion is that the team will stay in Changwon. The franchise stated, "We sincerely apologize for causing fans prolonged worry and uncertainty due to the relocation issue over the past period. The team has also carefully considered the direction of franchise operations while taking into account fan expectations and the future of the local community. We deeply thank all fans who have consistently believed in NC Dinos, supported us steadily, and waited patiently throughout this process."

Continuing, "We also extend our gratitude to Mayor Kang Ki-yoon of Changwon Special City and other city officials who listened to our opinions and worked together to find solutions. Moving forward, we will continue detailed negotiations with the city and once again request that all remaining tasks be fulfilled in accordance with the originally agreed direction."

Finally, "NC Dinos promises to do its utmost as players and staff unite to provide fans with better games and greater excitement for the remainder of this season."
