Seongnam Tancheon Sports Complex (Korean: 성남 탄천 종합운동장) is a multi-purpose stadium in Seongnam, South Korea. Its name was Seongnam 2 Sports Complex but changed to Tancheon Sports Complex in 2006, naming after the stream, named Tancheon, beside the stadium. It is currently used mostly for football matches and has been the new home stadium of Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma since 2005, instead of the old one, Seongnam Sports Complex. The stadium holds about 19,000 people (16,146 seats) and was built in 2001. By August it is under refurbishment to the floodlight towers and a new roof to cover all areas of the stands.
Famous quotes containing the words sports and/or complex:
“It was so hard to pry this door open, and if I mess up I know the people behind me are going to have it that much harder. Because then there’s living proof. They can sit around and say, “See? It doesn’t work.” I don’t want to be their living proof.”
—Gayle Gardner, U.S. sports reporter. As quoted in Sports Illustrated, p. 87 (June 17, 1991)
“All propaganda or popularization involves a putting of the complex into the simple, but such a move is instantly deconstructive. For if the complex can be put into the simple, then it cannot be as complex as it seemed in the first place; and if the simple can be an adequate medium of such complexity, then it cannot after all be as simple as all that.”
—Terry Eagleton (b. 1943)
