Nagoya, Japan｜Try to experience a local football game

Compared to the European stadium tickets I bought in the past, buying tickets this time is much simpler. First, go to the J-League official website to select the game you want to watch, and then the stadium map will be displayed for seat selection. If you have bought concert tickets, you should be familiar with it. After choosing your favorite seat, pay with a credit card. You can choose between mobile phone electronic tickets or physical tickets. If you choose physical tickets, you can take the confirmation email to any 7-11 cashier in Japan to print the ticket, which is very convenient. The purpose of watching a football match live is to feel the atmosphere. This time, the 20-minute walk from Toyota Station to the stadium was enough to feel the strong match day atmosphere from the start. The home team fans marched into the stadium in a mighty procession, as if they were meeting each other for the first time and exchanging greetings and encouragements. The Toyota Bridge that passed by on the way was designed by the postmodern architectural master Kisho Kurokawa. It looks like a pure white dinosaur skeleton. Whether it is the bright sunshine when entering the stadium or the sunset when leaving the stadium, you can see different beautiful scenery. What surprised me was the security at Japanese stadiums. In the past, I've been to Old Trafford, Stade des Princes in Paris, and even the Hong Kong Stadium, and the security was very strict. Basically, food and drinks were not allowed to be brought into the stadium, not to mention camera tripods. The Toyota Stadium is more relaxed than loose. This time, except for glass bottles, basically all food, drinks and equipment are welcome. The fans around me brought their own rice balls and snacks and enjoyed them very much. They even ate the fresh pineapple ice sold on site, which was particularly relaxing while watching the game. And when leaving the stadium, there was no garbage left behind. Trust comes from equal self-discipline, which is really worth learning. The game was compact and the competition between the fans was exciting. The cheering songs of the home team's fans were neat and disciplined, and they were very powerful with their numerical advantage. What was admirable was the small visiting area at the top of the mountain. The fanatical fans from Tokyo jumped, beat drums and cheered throughout the game without stopping. Their throats should have been broken after the game. They truly lost the game but not the battle. Another thing that surprised me was that there were a lot of local female fans 😳 I estimated that they were more than half, and their level of dedication was not inferior to that of men. When I bought the ticket, I thought that there would not be many people entering the stadium, so I randomly bought a middle seat in one of the rows. As a result, with nearly 30,000 fans entering the stadium that day, the whole area was packed and both sides were filled with female fans 🙈 At first, I was a little embarrassed holding the pineapple ice, but later it was better because everyone was immersed in the game. In addition to female fans, there were also many parents who brought their children to watch the game. It is also a very passionate thing to cultivate them to support the club in their own area from an early age. #Japan and Korea City Attractions #Japan Travel #Japan Attractions
