Gwangju-Kia Champions Field is a modern professional baseball stadium located in Gwangju, South Korea. Opened in 2014, the venue serves as the permanent home ground of the Kia Tigers, one of the most successful and historically significant clubs in the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) League.
Location: Gwangju, South Korea
Country: South Korea
Seating Capacity: Approximately 27,000
Opened: 2014
Primary Use: Baseball
Home Team: Kia Tigers (KBO League)
Gwangju-Kia Champions Field was constructed to replace the aging baseball facilities at the former Gwangju Mudeung Stadium complex. As professional baseball in Korea continued to grow in popularity and commercial value, the need for a dedicated, baseball-specific stadium became increasingly clear.
Construction began in 2012, with the objective of delivering a venue that prioritized fan experience, improved sightlines, and modern broadcasting standards. The stadium officially opened ahead of the 2014 KBO season, marking a significant upgrade for baseball infrastructure in the southwestern region of South Korea.
Since its inauguration, the stadium has regularly hosted:
KBO League regular-season games
KBO postseason and playoff matches
Korean Series home games involving the Kia Tigers
Club ceremonies, fan events, and commemorative baseball activities
As the home of the Kia Tigers, the venue has witnessed numerous high-profile domestic baseball fixtures. The Tigers are widely recognized as one of the most decorated franchises in KBO history, contributing significantly to the stadium’s national visibility.
The club was also among the first Asian professional baseball teams to surpass 100,000 followers on its primary social media platform, reflecting its strong digital presence and broad fan base, which further enhances the profile of the stadium.
Gwangju-Kia Champions Field follows a modern, baseball-only stadium design, emphasizing intimacy between the field and spectators. Key features include:
Optimized seating angles with clear, unobstructed sightlines
Multi-tiered seating layout, including premium seating and skyboxes
Advanced floodlighting suitable for night games and HDTV broadcasts
On-site commercial areas, team stores, and food and beverage outlets
The stadium’s layout reflects contemporary standards in professional baseball venue design, balancing functionality, comfort, and atmosphere.
Given its relatively recent opening in 2014, the stadium has not undergone any major structural renovations. However, it has received continuous operational and technological upgrades, including:
Enhancements to digital scoreboards and display systems
Seating improvements and accessibility upgrades
Modernization of media, press, and broadcast facilities
Incremental upgrades to concession and hospitality areas
These improvements ensure the venue remains compliant with evolving league requirements and fan expectations.

With the growing popularity of nighttime sports events, professional competitions demand higher lighting quality. The glare from traditional fixtures can no longer meet athletes’ expectations for sensory experience. Leveraging breakthroughs in MECREE’s sports lighting technology, our precise light control and anti-glare designs enable athletes to perform at their peak and enjoy an exceptional sports experience.
Issues caused by unnecessary nighttime lighting, such as light pollution and light trespass, are increasingly concerning and have led to rising public complaints. Amid growing environmental awareness, lighting designers must prioritize controlling “Light Pollution” and “Light Trespass.” We are committed to addressing this challenge through innovative optical technologies.
Currently common traditional stadium lights model for some international stadiums as below:
MVF406/1800W, HNF003, MVF401, MVF403, MVF024, EF-2000, YOA56305, YOAX56400, 2kW: HQI-TS 2000WDS, 2kW: HQI-TS 1000WDS, MHN-SA 2KW 400V/956, MHN-SB/HO 2KW 400V/956, LPW2000M/D, LPW1000MB/L, LPP2000MHN-SA, LPP2000MHN-SB.
There is big problem that traditional lamps can not cannot meet the needs of 4K and 8K high-definition broadcast and huge energy consumption.
With the strengthening of environmental lighting awareness and the pursuit of high-quality lighting, there is a trend to replace traditional lamps by high quality of LED Stadium Lights.
MECREE has launched the following series of LED Sport Stadium Lighting:
MECREE’s specially engineered precision lighting control is designed to meet the needs of such users. The polarized light range of 65-73° is defined as the P73-L and A65 series products, which deliver an unparalleled visual experience while offering access to thousands of IES profiles.
Our precisely engineered optics of polarized light aim light directly onto the field of play, to shine uniformly and to minimize glare. Outdoor venues benefit from spill light control, no more skyglow and no more complaints from the neighbors.
1. Such light shield is useless,just misleading customers.
2. As tested it will cause 30% reduction of light output
3. While 70% still have high overflow
4. Unbearable strong glare
5. Waste energy,outdated reflective technology
The power supply and lamp body can be mounted separately, reducing the withstand weight of the lamp pole and facilitating maintenance.
Customized crossarms are available to meet all your existing old poles without replacing the main rod, crossarms bolt directly to light pole, easy and accurate installation saves time, ensures performance, safety and reliability,also lower the budget.
In current sports lighting projects, high-altitude light calibration is recognized as a major efficiency bottleneck. The process carries high safety risks, is prone to aiming deviations, and involves cumbersome installation and removal procedures, making it difficult to achieve the required uniformity.
MECREE’s innovative laser aiming mount was designed precisely to address these issues. It revolutionizes the workflow through three key advantages:
Easy Installation: With a simple design, it allows rapid mounting and dismounting, significantly lowering the operational threshold.
Precise Aiming: Ensures accurate laser alignment, fundamentally guaranteeing uniform illumination and compliance with lighting standards.
Efficient Operation: Reduces labor and time costs by up to 80%. Calibrating 200 fixtures at height previously took 20 days; now the same workload can be completed in just 4 days.
Choosing MECREE means choosing a safer, more precise, and highly efficient sports lighting solution.
Through lighting simulation calculations and programming of light show designs, solutions oriented towards either visual effects or cost-effectiveness are provided. Design of Lighthouse, parameters required for building foundation, (axial force, shear force, bending force). High power generator set supporting,circuit design service,cable supply.
