▪️ What is the Oisix Fun! Kids Project?
Since last season, we have been enhancing family-oriented events throughout the season, such as holding KIDS DAYs with lots of fun plans for children, enhancing goods and stadium gourmet food for children, and plans to enjoy Golden Week.
In addition to making baseball feel more familiar to children, we will work on initiatives that create opportunities for children to want to try baseball and sports while having fun, and use the stadium as a "place of learning".
We hope that through this collaboration with the BSN Kids Project, we can contribute to creating the future of children.
