Seating Guide
A 2022 renovation removed the old Exciting Zone and replaced it with a bullpen for pitchers. The seats closest to the field are the Avenuel seats, and there’s a range of sponsor-named table seating, including the central table seats behind the catcher and the outfield Glamping Zone. Lotte plans to relocate temporarily to Busan Asiad Main Stadium for three seasons starting in 2028, with a newly built Sajik stadium set to open in 2031 — so the current Sajik Stadium will look different within a few years.

Cheering Culture
Lotte’s signature song, “Busan Galmaegi” (Busan Seagull), remains one of the most powerful anthems in Korean baseball. The team’s once-iconic traditions of shredding newspapers to wave and wearing orange plastic bags on the head in later innings have since faded out, replaced by eco-friendly cheer merchandise — reusable tarp tote bags and newspaper-shaped foam cheer sticks — that carry the same spirit forward.
When the opposing pitcher throws a pickoff attempt, the crowd shouts “Ma!” (a Busan-dialect exclamation). Lotte’s cheering is known for being fan-driven rather than led strictly by the cheer captain. “Galmaegi” (seagull) is the nickname for Lotte fans.
