You can enjoy it even with children! Watching Evessa in Osaka! !

This is Haraoka from Beyond.
The other day, I went to see the Osaka Evessa game for the first time.
I was worried about whether it would be okay to go as a family with my small children, but it turned out to be
a great experience!
I also looked into how to buy tickets and get there, so I'll share that here.
How to buy tickets
B.League tickets can be purchased from the official B.League website:
https://www.bleague-ticket.jp/index
The price list is here:
https://www.evessa.com/ticket/price/
If you buy your tickets in advance, you will get a 700 yen discount.
By the way, this time I was able to watch the game with a special ticket
directions
This match will be held at the Evessa home stadium, the Fumin Kyosai SUPER Arena.
https://www.evessa.com/team/arena/super.html

The location is in Maishima, an artificial reclaimed land, but
it's in a remote area that even people who live in Osaka don't often get to.
There's no train service, so it's quite inconvenient.
If you're going by public transportation, it's one stop from Universal Studios Japan, and another 15-minute bus ride from Sakurajima.
There's also a bus from Cosmo Square on the Chuo Subway Line, so if you're coming from Osaka city, this might be more convenient.
There's also a bus from Nishikujo Station on the Loop Line, which takes 20 minutes
, but there are fewer buses and it takes 30 minutes, so I think the above two are easier to get to.
For the timetable, please see

This time, I went to the game by car because I was taking small children with me.
I arrived quite late, so I wondered if I would be able to find a parking space,
but as expected, the parking lot inside the facility was full. However,
I was able to park in the parking lot right next to the arena.
The fee was 400 yen for 2 hours, which was a very reasonable price.
If you're traveling with children, it's quite difficult to transfer between vehicles, so it seems best to go by car.
About the match
As Nakauchi, who watched the game before, wrote, the players are really close.
Compared to professional baseball or the J.League, you can see the action up close,
which gives it a very realistic feel and makes you immerse yourself in the game.
You can even see the players' expressions, so that was really good
All you need to say to cheer is:
1. Osaka Evessa! Cha cha cha cha cha
2. Defense!
I took my younger elementary school child and two kindergarteners with me, so
I thought they might get bored halfway through, but they cheered along with me and
enjoyed the realism of the games, so they didn't get bored until the very end.

Osakaebeessa" at home
About the production
In basketball, there are many intervals and timeouts between the four quarters, and the game is often interrupted, but
the cheerleaders always come out and perform at those times, so it never gets boring.

There are three types of timeouts. "60-second timeout" - Can be taken twice in the first half and three times in the second half.
"20-second timeout" - Can be taken twice throughout the game.
"Official timeout (90 seconds)" - In the second and fourth quarters, with less than five minutes remaining,
the referee will call a timeout after the first stoppage of play.Reference: http://b-compass.net/guide/rule/
My daughter loves the cheerleaders, and she would squeal with joy when the cheerleaders appeared rather than when the game itself was happening
There were also special effects such as sound effects and flashy lighting in the venue
The team's mascot character, Maido-kun, also appears

The shiny bracelets you wear on your arms are also a lot of fun

a free throw competition that children could participate in during halftime, and
after the game, children entered the court and threw glowing balls, so I went home feeling very satisfied.

The game lasts less than two hours, so
I think it's a good time to bring children.
The team lost by 10 points, so
the excitement at the end wasn't that great, but I still had a lot of fun!
I'd definitely like to go and cheer them on at a winning game next time!!
