Enjoy watching the Osaka Evessa game with your children!

This is Haraoka from Beyond
I recently went to my first ever Osaka Evessa baseball game.
I was a little worried about bringing my young child along as a family, but it turned out to be
a lot of fun!
I also looked up information on how to buy tickets and how to 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/
It seems you can get a 700 yen discount if you buy advance tickets beforehand.
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's home arena, Fumin Kyosai SUPER Arena.

The location is Maishima, an artificial reclaimed land area, but
it's in a remote place that even people living in Osaka rarely go to.
There are no train lines, so it's quite inconvenient.
If you're going by public transport, it's a 15-minute bus ride from Sakurajima, which is one station away from Universal Studios Japan.
There are also buses from Cosmosquare on the Chuo Subway Line, so this might be more convenient if you're coming from within Osaka city.
The journey takes 20 minutes from there
There are also buses from Nishikujo Station on the Loop Line, but they are less frequent and take 30 minutes, so the two options mentioned above seem easier.
The timetable can be found here:

This time, we went to the game with small children, so we drove.
We arrived quite close to the start time, so we wondered if we'd be able to find a parking spot.
As expected, the parking lot inside the facility was full, but
we were able to park in the parking lot right next to the arena.
The price was 400 yen for two hours, which was very reasonable.
If you're traveling with children, changing vehicles can be quite difficult, so going by car is definitely the best option.
About the match
As Nakauchi, who attended a previous game, wrote, the players are incredibly close.
Compared to professional baseball or J.League, you can see the play from much closer,
which creates a very immersive experience and allows you to really get into the game.
You can even see the players' expressions, so that was really good
All you need to say to cheer is this:
① Osaka Evessa! Cha cha cha cha cha
② Defense!
I brought two children, one in lower elementary school and one in kindergarten, and
I was worried they might get bored halfway through, but they cheered along and
were entertained by the excitement of the game, so they stayed engaged and cheered until the very end.

About the production
Basketball games have many intervals and timeouts between the four quarters, and the game is often interrupted, but
cheerleaders come out and perform every time, so it never gets boring.

There are three types of timeouts: "60-second timeout" - You can take two in the first half and three in the second half.
"20-second timeout" - You can take two throughout the game.
"Official timeout (90 seconds)" - In the second and fourth quarters, when there are less than five minutes remaining,
after play stops for the first time, the referee will call the timeout.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

There was a free throw competition for kids during halftime, and
after the game, there was a performance where kids could go onto the court and throw glowing balls, so I left feeling very satisfied.

The match only lasts a little less than two hours, so
I think it's a convenient time to bring children along.
The game ended in a 10-point loss, so
the final moments weren't as exciting, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it!
I definitely want to go and cheer them on when they win next time!
