Production of a Ballpark and Relation of Cheering

 While those who consider the cheering of the baseball of Japan pessimistically exist, on the whole, cheering of the baseball of Japan is affirmed. These days, a fan's cheering and the production of the ballpark match well. Since the cheering style of the baseball of present Japan exists, the image that the baseball of present Japan exists will spread in this world. I would like to tell about the history of the production of a ballpark, and the relation of the production of a ballpark and cheering this time.

 The live music of the electronic organ was in use at the beginning of the production of the ballpark. According to the game, the player of the electronic organ was performing the electronic organ. Since the performance of an electronic organ was performed in the intervals of a player's play, the player's play was not disturbed. Although the ballpark using the production using an electronic organ exists even now, these days, the production which used the back screen is increasing.

　The production of the latest ballpark is becoming showy. Musical volume is also becoming large. The image projected on the back screen is also devised considerably. Although the image which made the scenery of practice or a game was passed in many cases, in these days, the image with which the professional baseball team side cooperated with the professional baseball player is created.

 Now, there is production of the ballpark in the United States as one of the reasons to which the production of the ballpark became showy in these days. American baseball culture considers that delighting a visitor is the main thing. The ballpark in the United States does various things in order to get a spectator to enjoy. For example, in the Minute Maid Park, if the player of the home team hits a home run or the time of starting the game, a small engine will run in a ballpark. This is connected with the Minute Maid Park being a former site of a station. In Kauffman Stadium, water blows up from a fountain between innings etc.

 Now, the ballpark in Japan imitated the culture of baseball of United States and has tried making a new ballpark. Mazda Zoom-Zoom Stadium Hiroshima is the comparatively new stadium which imitated the culture of baseball of United States and was made. The seat which can watch a game while it has a barbecue or can feel a player's play at a short distance etc. are located in the Mazda stadium. These days, the ballpark is used also at places other than watching baseball games. The production which is that parties concerned make an environment like a ballpark is used all-purpose is considered. This is performed in order to have it recognized that a stadium is familiar to public people.

 Although last time also described, this policy does not necessarily get everybody's spectator to have a favorable impression. However, I think that parties concerned have to regain the popularity of baseball by such a device since baseball spectators are decreasing in number gradually now.
