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.

A new baseball stadium scheduled for completion ahead of the 2019 season, with a capacity of 22,000, is currently under construction on the site of the now demolished Masan Stadium. The new ballpark, situated right next to the existing one and tentatively named Changwon Baseball Stadium will replace Masan Baseball Stadium as the home of the NC Dinos in 2019.
