Admin’s Note

I believe that the news of Nippon Ham fully acquiring the baseball team is a very important step towards promoting community-focused management. As mentioned by Chako, this is expected to strengthen the connection with local fans. In particular, the purchase of Sapporo Dome will also contribute to the development of the region’s sports culture. I look forward to watching how the team is managed going forward and how fans will support them.
