Hanshin Koshien Stadium Concerts 2024

Personally it is the 3rd baseball stadium that I visited in Japan. I enjoyed a NPB game, Hanshin Tigers vs. Hiroshima Toyo Carp dated March 10-11, 2024. As you know well, Hanshin Koshien Stadium is home of Hanshin Tigers. It is established in 1924 with 47,466 seats. Yes, this stadium is 100 years old as of this year, 2024. Many people will agree that the enthusiasm of Hanshin fans is an iconic. Many people were wearing its replica uniform with his/her favorite player's numbers. It seems that they really love it. How can I say in English? I was happy to be here to enjoy the strong energy of them. It was a really special experience. There are several food trucks around starting two hours before the game starts. Inside of the stadium you can get many foods as well. In front of each entrance gate, the staff will do security check, i.e., bag inspection, and QR code check. At the previous two stadium in Japan, before the game starts, people stand up and sing their national anthem with respect; however, Hanshin Koshien Stadium didn't follow this procedure. I don't know why. For your information, there are several goods shops outside the stadium. Enjoy.

Nice fun stadium to watch the baseball. Japanese people love baseball and the crowd goes wild. Pom poms streamers and chanting everywhere and cheerleaders. This is the Hanshin tigers home ground. Grab a beer or some sake or tea and check it out. They sell food too obviously, or bring your own.

1st Japanese baseball stadium I ever attended for a game. Awesome vibes and atmosphere. This stadium apparently is one of the few remaining stadiums Babe Ruth played in. If there for a day game have Irish Warpaint (sun block) and something to put on the seats they may get a little bit hot.

A must go place shall you are a true baseball fan! The stadium tour was short but sweet, though conducted in Japanese, you are able to watch the 3rd base bullpen area from above during game day. In addition, walk through the post game conference backdrop for photo. And to the 3rd base dugout and actually walk onto the field to see the magnificent and historical stadium. On top of that, the museum is also a must-go! There are two parts, entrance is cross the street, and the other part is located within the stadium, where can be walked to via the sky bridge. The batting and pitching practice is a lot of fun, while watching the history of the team and the special moments via VR makes you feel like you are part of the special occasion.

First time visiting this stadium after buying tickets the same day. The stadium is one of my favorites that I've visited and it has a great atmosphere. The ushers were really helpful in showing us to our seats and the view from Left outfield was great. It had good views of the home fan section and was close to the away fan section too so we got to hear the cheers from both fanbases. From outfield it also had good views of the mountains and the sunset.
