The LG Twins stand on the cusp of an unprecedented attendance milestone at Jamsil Baseball Stadium, tracking toward 1.6 million home spectators in a single KBO League season for the first time in history. According to figures announced by the club, the team drew 1,550,088 total fans across their first 70 home games of the 2026 Shinhan SOL regular season.
Attendance Rises Past Previous Club Benchmarks
The latest home fixture against the KIA Tigers pushed the cumulative attendance past the previous franchise high of 1,542,458 fans set during the 2025 season. Club officials confirmed that the contest also marked the 44th sellout at the venue this year, eclipsing the previous single-season high of 43 sellouts achieved a year prior.
Averaging Over Twenty-Two Thousand Fans Per Game
Through 70 home dates, the Twins have drawn an average of 22,157 spectators per contest at the Seoul venue. With three regular-season home fixtures remaining on the schedule, maintaining the current pace puts the club well on track to clear the 1.6-million attendance barrier.
Bullpen Struggles Lead to Seventh Defeat
Despite the attendance milestone, the team’s on-field momentum hit a roadblock on the same day the records were announced. A shaky bullpen led to a 5-6 loss against the KIA Tigers, extending the club’s losing skid to seven games. The Twins look to break that streak at 14:00 local time on September 5, with foreign starting pitcher Tolhurst scheduled to take the mound against KIA.
Securing an Eighth Straight Postseason Berth
On a broader organizational level, the Twins have already clinched qualification for autumn baseball, locking down a spot in the KBO postseason for the eighth year. That streak marks a first-of-its-kind achievement in the league’s 10-team era. Across the full history of the KBO, the run stands as the fourth-best record, trailing only Samsung’s 12-year run from 1997 to 2008, and tied with Samsung’s 1986–1993 stretch and KIA’s 1986–1994 run.
