The LG Twins stand on the verge of breaking Jamsil Baseball Stadium history by becoming the first franchise to surpass a historic milestone for home attendance in a single season.
During a regular-season home game against the Kia Tigers at Jamsil Baseball Stadium, the cumulative home attendance for the 2026 season reached 1,550,988, according to an official announcement from the club reported by starnewskorea.com. That figure breaks the previous club record of 1,542,458 set during the 2025 season.
LG also extended its franchise benchmark for sellout games. The club recorded its 44th sellout of the year, eclipsing the previous single-season high of 43 sellouts achieved in 2025.
Attendance Averages and Remaining Schedule
Across 70 home games this season, LG has drawn an average of 22,157 spectators per match. With three regular-season home games remaining on the schedule, the club needs to cross the unprecedented threshold.
Despite the historic turnout off the field, the team faced struggles on the diamond. LG dropped a 6-5 decision to Kia due to bullpen instability, extending its losing streak to seven games. The club looks to right the ship as it sends foreign ace pitcher Tolhurst to the mound against Kia.
Postseason Consistency and Franchise Standing
The milestone comes during another successful campaign that secures LG’s spot in the autumn postseason for the eighth year. Under the current ten-team KBO structure, this marks the first time any franchise has reached the postseason in eight straight seasons.
In broader KBO history, LG’s current streak ties for the fourth-longest consecutive postseason run of all time. Samsung holds the league record with 12 playoff appearances from 1997 to 2008, while Samsung (1986–1993, with 1984 and 1985 playoffs not held) and Kia (1986–1994) share the second-longest streak at nine years.
