1. Name of the ballpark district:「HOKKAIDO BALLPARK F VILLAGE」

“HOKKAIDO BALLPARK F VILLAGE”

We have adopted “HOKKAIDO BALLPARK,” the term we have been using since the inception of the project, and “F” which resembles not only the “Fighters” but also a number of important concepts that we cherish such as “Fan,” “Future,” “Forest,” “Fun”, and “Fusion.” These elements are combined with the term “VILLAGE” which expresses our intension to develop an area/district through our project, as well as the star mark which is the symbol of Hokkaido.

2.Name of the ballpark (Naming Rights for the facility)

“ES CON FIELD HOKKAIDO”

ES-CON JAPAN Ltd. (Based in Minato-ku, Tokyo, President/Representative Director: Takatoshi Ito), a Real Estate Company owned by Chubu Electric Power Group and running business throughout the nation with a focus on Kanto and Kinki regions, have decided to join the district development of the HOKKAIDO BALLPARK F VILLAGE. Being a community-based life developer that creates new values, ES-CON JAPAN will take on development projects planned within the district. As an attribute of our partnership, we have concluded the naming rights deal for the ballpark with ES-CON JAPAN.

This agreement sets a record for the largest facility naming rights deal in the nation^※. We aim to go beyond traditional naming rights deals in Japan and execute our partnership as a vehicle to accelerate our partner company’s business and achieve marketing goals.
※According to Nielsen Sports, the largest domestic naming rights deal in the past was Nissan Stadium’s 470 million JPY/yr.

Figure2:Logo design of ES CON FIELD HOKKAIDO We have adopted a simple and universal design, by expressing the ballpark’s symbolic retractable roof silhouette and adding the symbolic star of Hokkaido. This Logo will be exposed on the facades of the new ballpark, and also be promoted on advertising boards within JR New Chitose Airport Station from February 2020. We also plan to extend exposure and promotion not only in Japan but also in major cities abroad, so that our ballpark becomes a highly recognized destination in the world.
