02Worth knowing
What the AIs noticed while building the list.
2026 was Jamsil's last season. Demolition starts in December 2026, and LG and Doosan move to Seoul Olympic Stadium, about 18,000 seats, from 2027.
The league set records with 12,770,551 fans and 345 sellouts.
Seat counts differ by source (Sajik 23,200 to 28,500; Daejeon 17,000 or 20,000; Changwon 18,128 or 22,112), so a park's share of seats filled can move 15 points.
No source gives a comparable ticket-plus-beer-plus-chicken price for every park, so price here rests on ticket prices alone. Many parks let fans bring outside food.
03How we counted
In plain words, no formulas.
1The question
Top 10 KBO Ballparks Where the Crowd Gives the Most Back: Fullest Seats, Loudest Fans, Fairest Price
2Why this topic
It splits parks that are full because fans love them from parks that are full because they are small, and adds price and the trip home, which no attendance table shows.
3Where it applies
South Korea, the KBO League's 10 home ballparks
4What we looked at
- Share of seats filled (average attendance divided by capacity)
- Cost of a ticket plus a beer and a chicken meal
- Ease of getting there and back by public transport
- Atmosphere: cheering culture, sightlines and food, scored by editorial judgment
- Yagoonara ballpark attendance (from KBO game records) — Games, average crowd and event capacity at each venue, including Pohang
- Yonhap final 2026 attendance — Home totals per club, league record of 12,770,551, and final-day sellouts
- Wikipedia list of baseball stadiums in South Korea — Nominal seat capacity per ballpark. It often differs from the seats actually sold for a game
- Yagoonara 2026 ticket prices — Adult face-value prices by section, weekday and weekend, at the nine main parks
5Who ranked
The leading AIs, each building its own list of ten independently and naming a source for every place: Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, MiMo, Kimi, DeepSeek.
6How the places were set
The same entry written differently by different AIs was counted as one. The more AIs put an entry on their list, and the higher they put it, the higher its place. "AI agreement" shows how many of the AIs had it on their own list. Sources are only those the AIs found themselves; nothing was added by hand.

What Claude noticed
The 720-game regular season drew a record 12,770,551 fans, 17,737 a game, with 330 sellouts reported by Oct. 5, just short of the 2025 record.
Hanwha's ballpark in Daejeon fills 98.4% of its seats yet averages only 16,207 a game, because it has the league's smallest ballpark capacity. Daejeon plans to add about 3,000 seats by March 2028.
Lotte draws the 4th-biggest crowds but fills only 67 to 78% of the biggest ballpark, so a full-seats measure and a loud-crowd measure give different answers for Busan.
Foreign visitors often cannot book online because Interpark and Ticketlink need a Korean phone number. A guide suggests buying at the box office an hour or two before the game, with a passport.

What ChatGPT noticed
Daegu's 23,842 average attendance against 24,000 available seats translates to approximately 99.3% occupancy, despite Samsung playing two additional home games in Pohang.
Daejeon averaged about 95% of its 17,000-seat capacity even with Hanwha finishing ninth. Supporters argue that its relatively small capacity makes a ticket harder to secure than the attendance number alone suggests.
Jamsil hosted 144 regular-season games for two home teams, compared with roughly 71 to 73 games at each main single-club park. That shared use makes its attendance and economic role unusual.
A first-hand visitor ranks Changwon among Korea's best for food and field views, while attendance measurements place it last among the nine principal venues. The nicest physical park need not have the fullest seats.

Cheapestseat in the KBO is in Busan (₩4,000 outfield at Sajik), yet in 2025 Samsung ranked only fifth in gate revenue while leading attendance — the fullest park is not the most expensive one.
JamsilBaseball Stadium, open since 1982 and the shared home of LG and Doosan, closes after the 2026 season; demolition begins in December 2026 and a roughly 30,000-seat dome is targeted for 2032, with both clubs at Seoul Olympic Stadium (about 18,000 seats) from 2027.
Theleague set records of 12,770,551 fans and 345 sellouts in 2026, and eight of ten clubs topped one million — but Samsung alone left just 11,190 seats unsold across 73 home games.

The same question, answered by Kimi alone. The final list above combines all the AIs.
- 1Jamsil Baseball Stadium, Seoul (LG Twins / Doosan Bears)
The best closing argument in Korean baseball: 2026 is the last season, the outfield seat can cost ₩10,000, and two club fan bases still pushed the shared park toward sellouts.
Source ↗ - 2Daegu Samsung Lions Park, Daegu
The fullest regular-season room in the league: 23,521 per game against a 24,000 listed park is about 98% full before the postseason.
Source ↗ - 3Gwangju-Kia Champions Field, Gwangju
A 20,500-seat pressure cooker with a playoff team: 17,800 per night is about 86.8% full and the final regular-season game was a sellout.
Source ↗ - 4Sajik Baseball Stadium, Busan (Lotte Giants)
Not the fullest on 2026 percentages, but still the cultural loudroom: 19,161 a night in Busan and a long reputation as the KBO's most atmospheric park.
Source ↗ - 5Daejeon Hanwha Life Ballpark, Daejeon
The new-park bounce is real even when the team fell: about 81% full in a listed 20,000-seat stadium, with a May sellout of 17,000 reported during the record attendance rush.
Source ↗ - 6Incheon SSG Landers Field / Munhak, Incheon
Airport-city convenience plus grill culture keeps the evening warm even when the standings cool: about 76.6% full in a listed 23,000-seat park.
Source ↗ - 7Suwon KT Wiz Park, Suwon
The best team in baseball did not have the best room: KT's 90-win season still drew only 14,408 per home date, about 72% full.
Source ↗ - 8Changwon NC Park, Changwon
The modern sightline bargain: a 2019 Populous-designed park at only about 55.9% full, so the ball is easy to see even if the decibels are not.
Source ↗ - 9Gocheok Sky Dome, Seoul (Kiwoom Heroes)
The weatherproof compromise: easy Seoul transit and a guaranteed game, but a listed 16,744-seat dome plus last place makes it feel controlled rather than volcanic.
Source ↗ - 10Pohang Baseball Stadium, Pohang (Samsung Lions second home)
Included only to make ten because Jamsil is shared: Pohang's 2026 moment was a weekday 12,120 sellout in the record attendance surge.

What Kimi noticed
The 2026 crowd boom is the headline: 12,770,551 fans and 345 sellouts broke records, but the distribution was uneven, from Samsung's league-best 1.71 million to NC's 12,369 per game.
Jamsil's final season changes the emotional math: the same 2026 guide that prices outfield seats at ₩10,000-₩11,000 also says demolition starts in December 2026.
Food is part of the scoreboard: Korean ballpark-food coverage gives Incheon grill rental, Jamsil spicy dishes, Daegu dumplings/rice dogs and Gwangju gochujang pork-belly lunch boxes as park-specific reasons to go.
Sold-out seats can mislead: KT won the pennant but ranked eighth in average home attendance, while Hanwha's new park drew about 81% full in a 57-win season.

- 1Daegu Samsung Lions Park (2026)
99.4% of seats filled across 73 home dates, the fullest house in KBO, and a ticket that starts near 10,000 won.
Source ↗ - 2Daejeon Hanwha Life Ballpark (2026)
98.2% full in a 17,000-seat new park, with the league's loudest orange wave and a Dubon Korea food court — but the tickets are the priciest in the league.
- 3Jamsil Baseball Stadium — LG Twins and Doosan Bears (2026)
23,750 seats, two subway lines at the gate and 96.7% fill for LG — the most convenient big-night atmosphere in Korea, even in its final season.
- 4Sajik Baseball Stadium — Lotte Giants (2026)
A 23,200-seat cauldron where the crowd is louder than the team's seventh-place finish, with a 13,000-won weekday ticket and a 5-minute walk from Sajik.
- 5Gwangju-Kia Champions Field (2026)
87.4% full and a 1.30-million crowd, with a 14,000-won weekday ticket and a fan base that turned a down 2025 into a playoff year.
- 6Incheon SSG Landers Field (2026)
81.1% full in a 23,000-seat park with a 5-minute walk from Munhak Stadium Station — the easiest big-park trip in the league outside Seoul.
- 7Suwon KT Wiz Park (2026)
The cheapest big-league night out: 11,000 won for a sky-zone seat, 75.2% full, and a team that won the pennant.
- 8Gocheok Sky Dome — Kiwoom Heroes (2026)
82.4% full and weather-proof, but fans consistently rank it near the bottom for uncomfortable seats, poor sightlines and overpriced food.
- 9Changwon NC Park (2026)
The cheapest ticket in the league (8,000–20,000 won) and good food, but only 69.2% of seats were filled — the lowest fill rate in the KBO.
- 10Pohang Baseball Stadium — Samsung Lions' second home (2026)
A 12,120-seat coastal ballpark where Samsung played a handful of home dates; small, charming and the cheapest ticket of any KBO venue, but hard to reach without a car.
What DeepSeek noticed
Jamsil hosted 1.62 million LG fans and 1.51 million Doosan fans in the same 23,750-seat park — two of the three largest crowds in Korea sharing one concourse.
Sajik's crowd fell 10% in 2026, the largest drop in the league, even though the park still filled 85.6% of its seats — a reminder that atmosphere is not the same as attendance.
