The stadium is said to have been modeled after Los Angeles Dodger Stadium when it was designed. The overall shape of the stadium (such as the installation of a 4-meter-high outer wall, dual-outfield display, sandwich panel seats, etc.) is similar to that of Dodger Stadium. As it is similar to Sajik Baseball Stadium, it is a slightly larger-than-average size among baseball stadiums in Korea and is a baseball field on natural turf. At the time of its opening, the ground fence was 95 meters wide from the left and right, 120 meters high in the middle, and 2.8 meters high in the outfield. It was the first Korean baseball stadium to install a pitcher’s bullpen in the outfield so that pitchers can warm up safely. In 2009, some of the outfield seats were changed to barbecue zones and the number of reserved seats for tables was doubled in the infield seats, reducing the number of seats from 30,400 to 27,800.
