The stadium has an all-seated capacity of 11,000.[1] The KBO Club Lotte Giants played a handful of their home games in this stadium each season as their secondary stadium until 2011 (with the majority of their games being played at Sajik Baseball Stadium). Masan Baseball Stadium is now the home of the expansion team NC Dinos, which started playing there in 2012 (in the KBO Futures League during a year, then as a full-fledged club.
