The Daejeon Hanbat Baseball Stadium (Korean: 대전 한밭종합운동장 야구장), also known as the Hanwha Life Eagles Park due to sponsorship reasons, is a baseball park in Daejeon, South Korea. The stadium is located in the vicinity of Daejeon Station. Located in Daejeon Hanbat Sports Complex with other main sports facilities in Daejeon, it is currently used as the primary home ballpark of Hanwha Eagles of the KBO League.

Built in 1964, the ballpark was once nicknamed as the "Ping-Pong Table"[5] for having the smallest outfield dimension among professional ballparks in South Korea. But the ballpark underwent a series of large scale renovations with capacity extension from 2011 winter to 2012 spring, and outfield expansion in the winter of 2012.[6] After the renovation, the ballpark had a second-largest outfield dimension in South Korea at the time, and a seating capacity of 13,000.[7]

From 1982 to 1984, it was the home ballpark of the OB Bears. In 1986, the Binggrae Eagles debuted as the KBO's seventh franchise, and they took on Daejeon Hanbat Baseball Stadium as their home.

Access

The ballpark can be accessed directly by public bus to Hanwha Eagles Park (lines 802 and 119) or Hanbat Sports Complex stop (lines 513, 604, 52, and 4), or 1 km walking distance by subway to Jungangno Station or Jung-gu Office Station (Daejeon Metro Line 1).[8] Daejeon city offers Tashu bicycle share service with more than 100 spaces installed in the vicinity of the stadium.[9]
