Daegu Samsung Lions Park has 24,000 seats, ranking 1st among Korean ballparks. In 2025, it set an all-time KBO single-season record with 1.6 million spectators. Known for the slogan 'If you want to watch baseball, go to Samsung,' it is one of only two teams (along with the Lotte Giants) founded in 1982 that has never changed its name, home city, or parent company, maintaining the 'Samsung Lions' identity for 44 years. As a home-run friendly park, its Park Factor is higher than Coors Field (the 'Pitcher's Graveyard'), ranking 1st globally. All four KBO players who have hit 50 home runs (Lee Seung-yuop, Shim Jung-soo, Park Byung-ho, Lewin Díaz) have played for the Lions. Because it's a hitter's paradise, any pitcher who performs well here sees their market value skyrocket—Won Tae-in being a prime example. They hold the 2nd most KBO Korean Series titles (8 wins). Captains are usually locals from Daegu/Gyeongbuk high schools like Daegu High, Sangwon High, or Kyungbuk High. The club tends to offer long-term contracts to franchise stars, making it a dream for local prospects to be drafted by the team they grew up watching. Their official YouTube channel, 'LionsTV,' is also highly popular for its entertaining content.
