Before we right into about Pyeongchang stadium, let me introduce about PyeongChang at first.
Pyeongchang-gun (平昌郡) is a county in Gangwon province of South Korea located in the Taebaek Mountains region. It is approximately 180 km (110 mi) east of Seoul, the capital of South Korea. Pyeongchang will host the 2018 Winter Olympics and the 2018 Winter Paralympics.
Pyeongchang has a slogan, 'Happy700 Pyeongchang'. Pyeongchang county takes its slogan from the city's average elevation. Pyeongchang's average elevation is approximately 700m which is said to make people live in best condition. Pyeongchang has three mottos related to this slogan. These are 'Best place for health, rest, leports [leisure and sports] - Happy700 Pyeongchang', 'The city of nature, health, longevity - Happy700 Pyeongchang', 'Optimal environment for human's life - Happy700 Pyeongchang'.
The altitude of Pyeongchang is wide-ranging, with 84% of its territory comprising mountains with average elevations of 750 m (2,460 ft) so the area is famous with mountain hikers. This is all the little intro of Pyeongchang.
