Fans wishing to enjoy a sauna and hot bath during the first games at the Nippon Ham Fighters' new stadium, Es Con Field Hokkaido, can now enter a lottery to obtain tickets, the Pacific League club announced Thursday.
The new ballpark boasts a retractable roof to shield the game from Hokkaido's frigid winters and snowy weather and includes a tower in left field complete with a hotel and spa, where patrons can view the game in style.
The Fighters will play their first regular-season game there on March 30 against the Rakuten Eagles, a day ahead of Nippon Professional Baseball's five other home openers.
The lottery for spa admission and hotel reservations for the first four days of the upcoming season can be found on the team's website.
Field-view hotel rooms for the first three game days range from 132,000 yen ($1,029) up to 165,000 yen for a suite.
