The venue has about 8000 seats but I suppose if you include the grass areas, you can cram in about 9000-10000 people?

It's within a park with other attractions surrounding it, for more pictures of Children's Grand Park, see here: http://blog.daum.net/hongdolry/180
Edit: As usual, a lot of whining and complaining by Korean netizens about the venue, mainly the size. I guess they're under the impression that you can book a 30,000 seater stadium with just 1 week's notice.

The Shinhan Proleague 10-11 finals that were to be held in Shanghai, China but was canceled by the Chinese government due to public safety concerns over the typhoon and weather have been decided by KeSPA to be held 2 weeks later in Korea.
KeSPA has stated, "We have decided that holding the finals again in China will be impossible and plan to hold the Proleague finals again in Korea within 2 weeks."
It seems that KeSPA is currently searching for an appropriate indoor gymnasium venue for the finals and plans to announce the decided location in the near future.

A heavy disappointment for the Chinese fans who were hoping to see the finals in person and to all the overseas fans who stayed up. Good news for the Korean fans though.
