Went to my first Japanese baseball game tonight! SO much fun to see a different culture enjoy the same thing we grow up with in the USA!
They are all positive with chants and cheers and smiles on their faces! No boos or negativity towards the opposition at all that we witnessed. And we sat in the opposing teams side of the stadium (not intentional--but the perk ended up ending their side is in the shade!!! Win!!)
Street food snack outside the stadium before going in--my favorite octopus balls, and squid on a stick was a new one--that I won't get again. Too chewy!
In our seats!! Sunday night game, the place was packed
Kind of neat we got to see the home team spirit from across the stadium
Everything they do is synchronized
And they ALL cheer with these mini bat sticks that clack and clang together! Don't worry, I bought a set!! We clacked along with them!
Very notable--the cost of food and souvenirs at the stadium is VERY cheap!!! I ate way too much for under $15 and these cheer souvenir sticks are $5.....hat $20......so reasonable.
Not to mention you can bring all your own food and alcohol into the stadium!
I had my purse stuffed!
Pretty unique compared to the states.
Aside from the cheer mini bats, these LONG balloons were very spirited! They blow them up during their teams 7th inning, and when their team makes the third out they release them and they deflate as they whiz through the air!
Prepping our balloons
