Seoul World Cup Stadium Rental Income...There are more concerts than K League and A matches
Blog Article
The Seoul World Cup Stadium made more money at K-pop concerts than last year's professional soccer K-League and national team A matches.
According to the Seoul Metropolitan Government's data on the 27th, the total income from the rental of the Seoul World Cup Stadium last year was 11.65 billion won. On the contrary, the cost of operating the Seoul World Cup Stadium increased from 13.5 billion won last year to 18.4 billion won this year.
KRW 1,432.98 million in three A matches for the national soccer team and KRW 1.630.93 million in 20 K-League FC Seoul home games were delivered to Seoul from the organizers.
The K-pop concert, which caused controversy over grass damage, surpassed A-match and K-League-related income with only three events. The Seoul Metropolitan Government received 3,659.29 billion won through concerts by Seventeen (April 27-28), Lim Young-woong (May 25-26), and IU (September 21-22).
The biggest revenue-generating event for the city was an invitation game for famous overseas soccer clubs, including Coupang Play Series and Nexon's Icon Match. Through this, 4.9288 billion won was given to the city.
As such, not only soccer games but also K-pop concerts appeared as a major source of income for the Seoul World Cup Stadium.
Accordingly, the city plans to minimize grass damage by allowing performances such as K-pop concerts. In the future, the city government will restrict installation of grandstands in the grounds when renting cultural events such as Seoul Spring Festa. Instead, installation of a central mobile stage will prevent damage to the lawn.
In the case of installing the central stage in the lawn, it is suggested as a condition for installation and dismantling on the same day. In addition, lawn protective plates are installed and entry prevention fences are installed. Through this, it prevents damage to the lawn due to stage load and indiscriminate access by workers. Lawn protective materials are installed at the central stage installation location and transportation line, and forklifts and freight trucks are not allowed.
The city also subscribes to insurance for grass restoration and facility damage restoration. The insurance coverage is around 380 million won.
Separately, measures are taken to improve the quality of the grass itself. The area of grass production will be increased from 2,500 square meters to 5,000 square meters, and the amount of external contract cultivation will be expanded from 1,700 square meters to 7,500 square meters. It plans to secure 1.4 times the total grass area (8,740 square meters) of the main stadium at all times (12,500 square meters). 메이저사이트
The city will purchase additional advanced equipment such as artificial miners (2 units, July), cooling fog fans (5 units, June), and aerators (1 unit, May), which are mainly used for lawn management at overseas stadiums.
