When we got to Hiroshima, our families split up and the girls went to see Hiroshima Castle and we decided to go watch the Hiroshima Carp professional baseball team. They were the closest team to us when we first came to Japan so we have always been fans. They built a new stadium since we were here last and we just followed the crowd for the train station.
They get decked out in Carp red.
Carp samurai?
The new stadium is called Mazda Zoom Zoom Stadium. This is the parking lot for bicycles.
This is the view from our seats.
During the seventh inning stretch, they sing the team song after they blow up these large whistling balloons. When the song ends, everybody lets go of their balloons. It is quite an amazing sight!
