The new home stadium of the Hanwha Eagles started his three -day trial operation in the “Infinity Pool” area on July 1st. However, the fans sitting in the third base section directly under the swimming pool reported uncomfortable due to water that sprayed from above. A viewer went on social media, writing, “If someone gets too excited in the pool, the people underneath soaked. It was stressful and unpleasant to be affected by unsaponed water in which the others had just swam.”
They added, “Even inside, the dripping water from users of the swimming pool in a swimsuit made the floors slipped and left an unpleasant smell similar to a chlorine. Overall it was an uncomfortable experience.”
Further complaints included concerns about the loss of water from the swimming pool. In response, the club carried out repairs on July 3 to fix the loss under the swimming pool and temporarily installed further drainage systems below. The Hanwha Eagles have underlined that the feature is still in its pilot phase and it is premature to decide its future. They have ensured continuous improvements for safety.
From the opening at the end of March, Hanwha Life Ballpark He has faced various criticisms, including steep sessions, obstructed and inadequate seats for disabled fans. Last month, a dirty ball broke a restaurant window inside the park, pushing the installation of safety networks.
The pool, although innovative in the concept, is now part of a growing list of issues that are questioned if the novelty is a priority on the comfort and safety of fans.
