Doosan Bears achieved a cumulative audience of 30 million, becoming the third in professional baseball history after LG Twins and Lotte Giants.
On the 24th, Doosan Bears reached a sellout (23,750 seats) in their 12th match of the season against Hanwha Eagles held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul, building a milestone after surpassing 30 million in cumulative attendance.
Doosan recorded a cumulative audience of 29,043,285 from the inaugural year of professional baseball in 1982 until last year. This season, the intense excitement from fans continued, drawing 936,868 attendees over 47 home games played until the match against Hanwha on the 23rd.
On the 24th, with just 19,847 attendees left to reach a cumulative audience of 30 million, Doosan surpassed this milestone with their 22nd sellout of the season. Doosan's surpassing 30 million in cumulative attendance is the third major record in KBO League history, following LG Twins (April 2019) and Lotte Giants (July 2024).
A Doosan official noted, "This record is entirely possible thanks to the fans. I extend my infinite gratitude to the 'strongest number 10 batter' who always supports Doosan Bears."
He added, "Last year, we recorded the highest audience for the club (1,301,768) and it seems we will surpass that this year. We promise to establish ourselves as a baseball team that permeates into the daily lives of fans through fresh and innovative marketing activities."
Doosan plans to hold rich events to commemorate the milestone of reaching 30 million in cumulative attendance and repay fans' boundless love.
