Yasuyuki Sasaki, President
Having Sports in your life is a valuable habit that nurtures a healthy mind and body. When people enjoy sports, it brings new vitality to the community. HOKKAIDO NIPPONHAM FIGHTERS, a team that has been loved by the community since its birth in Hokkaido, has become a symbol of the wellness and vitality of the people of Hokkaido. Through this partnership, we plan to fill Hokkaido with the magical power of sports. We will not only strengthen our support for the team, but also provide fans with a game viewing experience they have never seen before and help create a space where fans can enjoy throughout the year.
In addition, by participating in the sustainable urban development project promoted by Fighters at "HOKKAIDO BALLPARK F VILLAGE", we will contribute to the promotion of SDG's in Hokkaido as a company born and raised in Hokkaido.

Our goal is not to simply build a stadium, but to create a city with sports at its core. Through this partnership, we will further enhance the value of sports and entertainment offerings with ES CON FIELD at its core. We are also committed to building a sustainable city, and we feel encouraged by the fact that we will be able to enhance the city's function as a disaster prevention center in the event of an emergency. Together with Hokkaido Coca-Cola Bottling, we hope to create a space that can be enjoyed by all generations, from children to adults, and that will be loved and cherished by the local community.
