Hey there, let me share a little baseball story with you.
Gocheok Sky Dome is the home of the Kiwoom Heroes. Sounds exciting, right? The catch is that getting there is not so simple. It sits far from the center of Seoul, and if you are like me, not familiar with this corner of the city, it feels like a bit of a journey.
The real challenge comes with Line 1 of the subway. That line is always crowded, always confusing. I have been to this stadium five times, and still I get lost. One wrong move on the train and you could find yourself in Incheon or Seodongtan. I know, because it happened to me.
As for the Dome itself, it is not huge. Sixteen thousand seats in total, which is less than half the size of Kyocera Dome in Osaka that holds more than thirty-six thousand. Still, what it lacks in scale, it makes up for in condition. The place is clean, modern, and well kept.
Before you go inside, take a moment at the entrance. You will see the large Sky Dome sign, and right nearby, a small official shop where you can pick up Kiwoom Heroes merchandise. A nice stop for souvenirs. Security will check your bag and scan your ticket, nothing out of the ordinary.
Inside, the food is straightforward. Think fast food and drinks, the kind that keep you going through nine innings. It is not fine dining, but it does the job.
So, is it worth the trip? Maybe yes, maybe no. But if you love baseball, or if you simply want to add another stadium to your list, then yes, it is worth the effort. Just double-check that you are on the right train.
Enjoy the game.
Went here for another DAY6 concert!
Considering its size and capacity, this is the best venue to hold large number of audience indoor in Winter. Location also close to a lot bars and restaurants so you don’t have to be worried about being starved.
Good news, it’s also only walk away from the nearest Subway station Guro and Bus Stop. Again, you don’t have to worry about the public transport. They also have outdoor restroom.
The only thing cannot happen here is the 360 stage and steep higher floor. 4F seating is pretty high and steep, so you can’t stand up during the concert. Plus, in winter still so cold inside the venue.
