Mazda Zoom-Zoom Stadium Hiroshima
Modern ballpark whose concourse loop and terraces turn every stall into part of the business.
This guide to the Mazda Zoom-Zoom Stadium Hiroshima opens on the ballpark's first game day in April 2009, then turns to who actually paid for it: Hiroshima City covered construction, but Mazda bought the naming rights, first that year and again when the deal came up for renewal in 2013. It follows the trading house Mitsui, which took over every food and drink stand inside the park through a joint venture, an arrangement no other professional ballpark in Japan uses. You'll hear how many menu items that single kitchen system runs, from Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki to crepes and risotto. Stand on the concourse loop ringing the field to see the plan in motion.
