Despite a dismal first half, SSG Landers has shown a completely transformed performance in the second half and continues to maintain strong fan enthusiasm. The team set a historic record by reaching 10 thousand won spectators for four consecutive years.

Ahead of their home game against the Hanwha Eagles at Incheon SSG Landers Field on the 27th, SSG Landers surpassed the season cumulative attendance mark of 10 thousand won fans.

Before today's game, SSG had recorded a cumulative total of 990,853 spectators. Including 15,728 pre-sold tickets (as of 10:20 a.m.), they broke through the 1st million spectator milestone. The final attendance for the day reached 17,536.

This achievement marks SSG's fourth consecutive year surpassing 10 thousand won spectators, following 1.068 million in 2023, 1.143 million in 2024, and 1.281 million in 2025. It is not only a historic first for SSG but also the first time any professional club based in Incheon has achieved this feat.

Notably, SSG tied the franchise record for reaching 10 thousand won spectators in the fewest home games. The team reached the milestone in their 69th home game in 2023 and their 64th home game in 2024. This year, they achieved it again in their 58th home game, matching the record set in 2025.

This milestone of reaching 10 thousand won spectators was made possible thanks to the unwavering support and passion of fans who have consistently visited the stadium. SSG expresses deep gratitude for the fans' encouragement and plans to continue organizing diverse events and fan interaction programs throughout the remaining schedule as a way to repay their loyalty.

SSG struggled this season due to numerous injuries, particularly after their starting rotation collapsed, leading to a 13-game losing streak that dropped them to ninth place. However, they completely turned things around in the second half thanks to the revitalized strength of their pitching staff. Even today, they started by conceding four runs in the first inning but quickly took the lead with two home runs and secured a decisive 13-6 victory through remarkable focus.

With a record of 17 wins, 12 losses, and 2 draws in the second half, SSG currently sits in second place after going 11-5-1 in August. Although there were disappointments, their strong second-half performance has generated excitement for next season and drawn crowds back to the stadium.

After the game, Manager Lee Seung-yong stated, "Most importantly, I am happy that we could repay our fans with a three-game sweep in this meaningful home game where we achieved 10 thousand won spectators for the season."

Before this series, SSG had a record of 2 wins and 9 losses against Hanwha. With today's three consecutive victories, they secured their first sweep over Hanwha since April 7-9, 2023, in Daejeon — a span of 1,236 days. Their first series sweep at home since June 10-12, 2022, came after 1,537 days.

Meanwhile, SSG will host Homecoming Day for Jamie Romak, the franchise's longest-serving foreign player, on the 27th, and hold a retirement ceremony for playing coach Kim Sung-hyun on September 5. Additionally, they plan to offer fans a variety of enjoyable activities throughout the remaining schedule, including Dog Days and Landing Days.
