The KANO Baseball Park is located on the west side of the baseball stadium, covering an area of 4,190 pyeong. The KANO Observation Sphere sits in front of Exit 6 of the baseball stadium and is formed by five interlocking rings of different sizes. Its transparent ring silhouette space design, controlled by computer, presents nighttime light and color shows that can shift through 33 patterns at varying speeds, creating a rich visual experience. After the park opens, the KANO Observation Sphere will be illuminated from 7 to 9 p.m. nightly, with adjustments based on crowd conditions.
