■ Concept and Slogan
Drawing the Gate (M) to the future with everyone's aspirations.
■ Three Identities Embodied in M

Project Purpose
The "walls" surrounding a construction site are originally meant to be a "barrier" to prevent viewing inside.
However, we are transforming this space into a "GATE" leading to the future, the new arena.
Artwork of leading sports figures from Mikawa will adorn the walls.
The arena construction site will be transformed into a "sacred place" for fans, turning the waiting period for completion into a process of excitement and passion.
This is the mission of "MGATE."
