Countdown to 10 million viewers. It sold out again in Incheon on the first day of the Chuseok holiday.

The match between SSG Landers and Samsung Lions at SSG Landers Field in Incheon from 2 p.m. on the 14th achieved a full crowd. The SSG club announced at 2:27 p.m. that it had achieved its sixth full-capacity crowd this season, with all 23,000 seats sold.

SSG has sold out in the Lotte Giants match on March 23-24 this season, the Hanwha Eagles match on May 25, the Samsung Lions match on June 6, and the Hanwha Eagles match on August 17. At the end of the regular season, it is still a great pace to have a sold-out game.

SSG has already exceeded 1 million home spectators this season in its home game against Hanwha on the 10th. It is the first record of 1 million spectators for two consecutive years by an Incheon-based club.

The first 10 million spectators in the history of the KBO League is also expected to be achieved during the Chuseok holiday. The KBO League attracted 9,839,527 spectators in 662 games played until the 13th. The average number of spectators per game is 14,863. For the first time ever, 9 million spectators have surpassed the mark early, and now they are trying to reach 10 million.

With 160,473 people remaining until 10 million spectators, it seems possible to achieve a record within the Chuseok holiday. On the 14th, the first day of the holiday, Incheon's game sold out even in hot weather, giving the green light to surpass 10 million.
