Although Daegu is
Korea's 3rd largest city, much of it still retains a countryside feel. The views of Palgong-san
to the north and Ap-san to the south are hidden by smog less often than the mountains
encircling Seoul. The area is a major textile center for Korea, producing vast amounts of
cloth and clothing. It also serves as a major hub for metal and machine industries, with
several manufacturing plants from the nation's largest conglomerates. Agriculturally, the area
has much farmland and is especially known for its apples (resulting from grafting American
apple tress to local crab apple trees by Presbyterian missionaries in the early 20th
century). The stadium symbolizes globalism based on its globe shape and realization
of oriental philosophy through the harmonization of natural and artificial lines. The design
is symbolizing an eagle
