Facilities

[edit]

Tancheon Stadium

[edit]

Tancheon Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium built in 2002 and currently used mostly for football matches and has been the home stadium of Seongnam FC since 2005, replacing the club's previous home, the Seongnam Sports Complex.[3]

The first professional football match ever held was a friendly game between Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma and Poland national football team on 26 May 2002.[4]

The white, robust frames of canopy are standing above the ground of Tancheon stadium. It was 2009 when the Tancheon Stadium was under refurbishment for canopy installation.

In 2009, Seongnam FC moved their home matches to Seongnam Sports Complex as the canopy installation works commenced.[5] The installation was completed in 2010. The first match held since the installation was Seongnam FC's 2010 AFC Champions League game against Kawasaki Frontale on 23 February 2010.[6]

On 12 March 2016, the stadium recorded its first ever K League sold-out match in Seongnam FC's 2016 K League Classic first-round game against Suwon Samsung Bluewings.[7]

In the first half of 2019, Seongnam installed the nation's best large electronic display panel at Tancheon Stadium. Fan would be able to enjoy more vivid game scenes and halftime events at the stadium. In order to improve players' performance, the grass was completely replaced, and track and field tracks was also replaced with blue ones. The team's color was applied to the stadium with street lamp banners and branding using Tongcheon.[8]

The stadium is nicknamed the Tancheon Fortress (Hangul: 탄천요새) reflecting Seongnam FC's strong home record[9] in AFC Champions League.[10]

The stadium is equipped with AstroTurf and a stand with 955 seats. From Mondays to Saturdays, the stadium is mostly used by the city's high school baseball teams for home games and practices. For public use, applicants need to apply to a draw for empty time slots.[2]

Tancheon Sports Club

[edit]

The complex building includes swimming pool, squash court, aerobic exercise centre, ice rink, multi-purpose gym, health club, tennis court, bowling alley, and indoor golf facilities.[2]

Mir (Park Min-ha is brought to the pit of bodies to be incinerated but is rescued by Kang Ji-goo (Jang Hyuk). The uninfected people see the pit, and a riot ensues, forcing the evacuation of all medical and military personnel from the camp.[11]
