Korea eyes new dome stadiums for sports, K-pop concerts

Korea Has Launched An Ambitious National Search For Candidate Sites To Construct Next-generation Multipurpose Indoor Stadiums, Aiming To Address A Chronic Shortage Of Premier Venues Capable Of Hosting International Sporting Events And Global K-pop Concerts Year-round. The Ministry Of Culture, Sports And Tourism Said Wednesday That It Will Accept Bids From Regional Local Governments And Public Institutions Through Dec. 8. The Government Plans To Select Two Candidate Sites By The End Of December — One For A Large-scale Dome Capable Of Seating At Least 40,000 Spectators And Accommodating Over 50,000 People For Concerts, And Another For A Medium-scale Venue Designed For 20,000 To 40,000 Seats. The Multibillion-won Initiative, Targeted For Completion In 2034, Reflects The Government’s Broader Policy Agenda To Expand Public Access To Sports And Culture While Establishing Iconic, World-class Landmarks To Draw International Tourists And Stimulate Regional Economies. The Drive Comes As Korea’s Cultural And Entertainment Industries Grapple With An Acute Lack Of Covered, Mega-capacity Arenas
