The Munsu Stadium is built on an area of approximately 900,000m2 in Ulsan, in south-eastern Korea. It has two levels below ground and three above ground. With its environment of natural ponds and thick forests on the nearby Mt. Munsu and Mt. Namam, this stadium counts as one of the most beautiful of the 20 World Cup venues. The architects certainly knew what they were doing : in this scenic setting, they have created a stadium whose structure represents the image of a crane, the bird that is the symbol of the city of Ulsan. The elegance and pureness of a crane is depicted in the overall design inspired by the shape of the bird in characteristic crouching position, about to take off in flight.
It was a beautiful stadium, and Ulsan beat Busan which was very nice. During the halftime show we realized that we were sitting to close to the spot where they were shooting off all of the fireworks. Fiery ashes landed on our bare arms and neck leaving small burns on our body. These ashes even burned through Stew's England jersey.
Perhaps the best part of going to an Ulsan Tigers game is that you can bring your own beer, soju, and food.
