The KBO League game between the KT Wiz and Lotte Giants in Suwon on October 4 will start at 5 p.m.
The game will be held 3 hours later than the originally scheduled 2 p.m. start.
The time change is related to the King Jeongjo’s Royal Procession to the Tomb event and traffic controls in the area around Suwon Sports Complex.
3-Line Summary
1. The KT-Lotte game starts at 5 p.m. on October 4
2. It is 3 hours later than the original 2 p.m. start
3. Spectators should also check the traffic controls
Suwon Game Changed from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
The Korea Baseball Organization changed the KT Wiz–Lotte Giants game scheduled for October 4 in Suwon from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. The game date and matchup remain unchanged; only the starting time has changed.
This schedule moves the game from the afternoon to the evening. Spectators who planned their stadium visit around the afternoon schedule need to recalculate not only their entry time but also when they will arrive in the area around Suwon Sports Complex.
News1 and 2news.co.kr both reported that the KT-Lotte game on October 4 had been moved to 5 p.m. 2news.co.kr reported that the Korea Baseball Organization adjusted the time to reduce congestion caused by large-scale traffic controls near the baseball stadium and ensure spectator safety.
Area Around Suwon Sports Complex Overlaps with King Jeongjo’s Royal Procession to the Tomb
The direct background to the change in game time is the King Jeongjo’s Royal Procession to the Tomb event taking place in the area around Suwon Sports Complex. 2news.co.kr cited the expected traffic congestion caused by road controls around the baseball stadium due to the event.
This adjustment is not related to the game itself or team operations, but is a schedule change connected to transportation conditions outside the stadium. Since a large event is taking place in the same area, the travel time before reaching the stadium becomes part of the schedule for spectators visiting the ballpark.
In particular, the departure time set based on a 2 p.m. game differs from that for a 5 p.m. game. Even though the game starts later, the fact that traffic controls are scheduled for the area remains unchanged, so travel time around Suwon Sports Complex must be considered separately.
How the 3-Hour Change Affects Spectator Plans
The key number to note for this KT-Lotte game is 3 hours. This is not a cancellation or venue change, but a case in which the starting time of the same Suwon game on the same date changed from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Spectators visiting the stadium should check the changed start time along with their reserved-seat information. Since the road controls related to the King Jeongjo’s Royal Procession to the Tomb event have been presented as the reason for the change, it is appropriate to adjust plans to include the time needed to enter the area around Suwon Sports Complex, rather than considering only the final trip to the stadium.
