Project Description

Natural grass stadium attracting sports and events

Hinata Sun Marine Stadium Miyazaki opened in February 2001 and is used as the main stadium and camp venue for the Yomiuri Giants professional baseball team in Miyazaki. In the past, the facility has been used as a training camp for the World Baseball Classic (WBC) and has also hosted Hinata Fest 2024 by a popular idol group, highlighting the facility as one that can host both sports and events.
Despite over 20 years of use, the seats themselves showed no cracks. However, because the stadium is located near the ocean, issues such as rust preventing seats from being raised and fading seats making it difficult to see white balls hit into the infield arose. This prompted a major renovation of the infield area in 2024.For this renovation, the BLM-5100 series stadium seats were supplied for approximately 4,000 seats behind the back nets. The BLM-5100 series is blow-molded from high-density polyethylene and has a hollow inner structure, making it both impact-resistant and comfortable. The gentle curves of the seat cradle the body, allowing for comfort without fatigue even after sitting for long periods of time. The backrest and seat are separated into a two-piece design, so the seat can be flipped up when unoccupied to provide ample aisle space.

Focus on the Game Without Worrying About Neighboring Movements or Luggage. Caregiver Seating for Wheelchair Users Included

Seats feature parallel legs, enabling spectators to enjoy the event without worrying about movements in neighboring seats. This enables spectators to fully concentrate on the game and enjoy the event to its fullest. Additionally, cup holders are equipped with luggage hooks, allowing spectators to hang small items - a well-received feature.
At Hinata Sun Marine Stadium Miyazaki, wheelchair users and their companions can enjoy games together, with wheelchair spaces at the front and wall-mounted caregiver seats at the rear. The BLM-8000 series two-piece stadium seats were chosen for caregiver seating. These seats combine comfort and durability with a slim, sleek design. When unoccupied, the seat flips up and folds to a wall-mounted position, ensuring it does not obstruct wheelchair mobility. The BLM-8000 series was also installed in the press box. Compact yet offering a wide seat depth, facilitating smooth transitions between sitting and standing.

Facility Overview

Hinata Sun Marine Stadium Miyazaki boasts a stadium area of 30,232m² and a seating capacity of 30,000 people. The turf is natural grass for both the infield and outfield, making it suitable for professional and local high school baseball games. Expectations are high for the stadium’s future as a venue capable of hosting both sports and events.
