Will there be a solo performance at Changwon NC Park?
The match between the KIA Tigers and the NC Dinos is scheduled to take place at Changwon NC Park. On this day, all four games scheduled in Daejeon, Daegu, Incheon, and Jamsil were canceled due to the influence of the monsoon, while a solo performance is expected to take place at Changwon NC Park.
However, the Changwon area experienced intermittent rain throughout the day. Ultimately, before the game started, the start was delayed, and the game is expected to begin at 6:45 p.m.
Meanwhile, during the game, NC is expected to express gratitude to the KIA team for accommodating them through an exchange while the home games at Changwon NC Park were suspended.
NC stated, "This expression of gratitude was prepared as a response to the KIA Tigers team for their cooperation and consideration regarding the away game schedule during the suspension of the home games at Changwon NC Park in May."
Before the game that day, NC Dinos displayed a "thank you message image to the KIA Tigers team" on the main electronic scoreboard and expressed heartfelt thanks to the fans with the performance of the team mascot "Dandi" combined with the announcer's commentary.
In particular, this expression of gratitude is expected to resonate with fans as a case that shows coexistence, respect between teams, and sportsmanship in times of crisis, going beyond mere ceremonial greetings.
Lee Jin-man, the representative of NC Dinos, said, "Thanks to the active cooperation of the KIA Tigers team, all processes regarding NC's game schedule went smoothly, and I deeply appreciate the solidarity and sportsmanship between teams. Through this message, I want to share that sentiment with the fans."
NC Dinos plans to hold the thank you ceremony consecutively during the home games against the KIA Tigers on the 13th (Friday) and 14th (Saturday).
