The "Paloma Mizuho Stadium" was completed after approximately three years of construction as a venue for track and field, soccer, rugby, and American football. It is also the home stadium for J.League's Nagoya Grampus and will be the main venue for events such as the opening ceremony of the Asian and Asian Para Games this autumn.
Around this stadium, there are seven outdoor facilities, including the Paloma Mizuho Baseball Stadium, and seven indoor sports facilities, such as the Paloma Mizuho Arena, where many sports events are scheduled to be held throughout the year.
In addition, the surrounding plaza developed as part of this project serves as a place of relaxation for citizens. The SPC, of which Mizuno is a constituent company, began a series of these developments in April 2023, with the new stadium marking the completion.
