Im going to the USA basketball game there this weekend and Im not sure where it is. I went to the website but it's in Korean and I cant figure it out. What subway line/stop and directions from there would be greatly appreciated? Thanks

Take the subway to Jamsil station. Get off train. While in station look at neighborhood map. There will be a nice big pic of the stadium and you'll be able to see which exit to exit from.

Do you mean "sports complex?" That is on the green line, 2 stips from Jamsil. There is no Jamsil stadium.

If you have any questions, just call 1330 They will help you gt anyplace. They will even make a phone call for you. If you are not in seoul you have to dial 02 1330.

I double checked the website and it says Jamsil Stadium, so Im not sure whats up. I will try and call tomorrow.

I think you need to go to 종합운동장 station two stops from Jamsil.

O.K. I could be wrong, but I THINK that Jamsil Baseball Stadium is at the Sports Complex station on the green line. I have seen the baseball stadium there. I can not imagaine there is another one so close. But call 1330. And please tell us here if that is not the stop, I am curious.

The Seoul Sports Complex, occupying an area of 591,000 sq.m (142 acres) in Jamsil, includes the Olympic Stadium, Jamsil Baseball Stadium, Jamsil Students' Gymnasium, and Jamsil Gymnasium. The complex is about 30 minutes from downtown Seoul.

:: Location : East of the WTCS
:: Transportation : Subway Line 2, Green, Sports Complex Station

Re-read the OP :[b] Basketball, not Baseball. But probably at the Gymnasium building. Near the back of the complex past the baseball stadium.[/b]

[teachingld2004]

Yes Yes, Basketball not baseball. Guess I read it as baseball. I like baseball. Anyway, I think we are right and it is at "Sports Complex" stop on the green line, 2 stops before Jamsil.

Hope the game is a good one!

I called your contact Mr. Jung. He told me he would get back with me in about 30-minutes and to email him. I did and never heard back, oh well. Maybe I can still get a ticket at the stadium.
