| Description |
 Seoul World Cup Stadium is shaped like a
traditional Korean kite, and seen from above, it looks as if a rectangular
shield is being flown like a kite. The shape of the stadium represents flight
towards victory, and it combines the hopes of the World Cup games and spirit and
traditional culture of the Korean people.
The very first impression the
stadium gives is that it is very large. It provides over 60,000 seats, and in
fact, in terms of area and facility, it is the best in Asia. There are large
screens on either side of the stadium for people wanting close-up view of the
games, and the grass on the field stays green during winter. Nearby the stadium
there are a variety of parks, ideal for leisurely walks. There are also five
theme parks around the stadium – Peace Park, Nanjicheon Park, and Noeul Park
among them. Thick groves of trees, modern street lights, and magnificent
fountains make the parks ideal walking areas in the morning and evening. In the
evenings, many in-line skaters come and hang out as well. The stadium is open
from 9 to 5 pm, and many interpreters are always on duty.
After the
successful completion of the 2002 FIFA World Cup Korea/Japan, the Seoul World
Cup Stadium has been leading the campaign to promote soccer culture, and is also
a frontrunner in hosting various cultural events. Located within the facilities
are also places to shop and enjoy cultural activities- providing all visitors
with much to see and do. In Seoul, it is rising as a popular tourist spot.
