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

This is Haraoka from Beyond.

The other day, I watched the Osaka Evessa game for the first time.
I went to watch the game with my family this time with a small child, so I was wondering if it would be okay? That's what I thought, but
I ended up having a lot of fun!
I have researched how to buy tickets and how to get there, so I will write about them here.

How to buy tickets

B League tickets can be purchased from the official B League page.

you buy advance 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 Evessa's home, Fumin Kyosai SUPER Arena.

The location is a reclaimed land called Maishima, but
it is in a remote area that even people living in Osaka have difficulty accessing.
There are no trains, so it's quite inconvenient.

If you are going by public transportation, it is one stop from Universal Studios Japan and 15 minutes by bus from Sakurajima.
There is also a bus from Cosmo Square on the Chuo Subway Line, so this may be more convenient if you are going from Osaka city.
It takes 20 minutes to arrive
and you can also leave from Nishikujo Station on the Loop Line, but I feel that the above two options are easier to get to because they are less frequent and take 30 minutes.

This time I was watching the game with a small child, so I went there by car.
I arrived at the last minute, so I wondered if I could park in the parking lot. However,
the parking lot inside the facility was full, but
I was able to park in the parking lot next to the arena.
The price was 400 yen for 2 hours, which was a very reasonable price.
If you are traveling with children, it is probably best to go by car, as changing trains can be quite difficult.

About the match

As Nakauchi, who watched the game before, wrote, the players are very close to each other.
Compared to professional baseball or the J-League, you can watch the play from a closer distance, which
gives you a much more realistic feeling and allows you to get immersed in the game.

I was able to see the facial expressions of the players, so that aspect was pretty good.

3 reasons why watching B.LEAGUE is fun

All you have to do to show your support is this:
① Osakae Vessa! Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha
② Defense!

I took a lower grade elementary school student and two kindergarteners with me, so I wondered
if they would get bored halfway through the trip. That's what I thought, but
since we were cheering together and the game was so immersive, they never got tired of cheering us on until the end.

They seem to like it quite a bit, as they still say "
Osakaebessa" at home

About the production

In basketball, there are many four-quarter intervals and timeouts, and the game is often interrupted, but
the cheerleaders always appear and perform at those times, so I never get bored.

There are three types of timeouts. ``60 second timeout'' → You can take 2 times in the first half and 3 times in the second half.
"20 Second Timeout" → You can take it twice throughout the game.
``Official timeout (90 seconds)'' → After the first stop of play with less than 5 minutes left in each of the 2nd and 4th quarters
, the referee will call a timeout.

My daughter loves the cheerleaders and squeals with joy when the cheerleaders appear rather than the games.

In addition, there were acoustics in the venue and flashy lighting,

The team's mascot character Maido-kun will appear.

A glowing bracelet on your arm? This is also quite fun as it is shiny.

a free throw competition that kids could participate in during halftime, and
after the game, kids entered the court and shot a glowing ball, so I went home quite satisfied.

 

The game takes less than two hours, so
I think it's an easy time to bring your kids.

 

We lost the game by 10 points, so
the excitement at the end wasn't that great, but we still had a lot of fun!
This time, I definitely want to go and cheer for a winning match! !
