経済効果の試算2200億円　一方で渋滞を懸念する市民も　F２軍移転でどうなるマチづくり

The relocation site for the Fighters' minor league team's home field, after a fierce bidding war, has been decided: Eniwa City. Read the article about this video https://news.ntv.co.jp/n/stv/category... While enormous economic benefits are expected, challenges have also emerged. Added to the iron pot along with vegetables and minced meat are Schauessen sausages! This is a "Miso Curry Ramen" that combines Eniwa and the Fighters, topped with locally produced kimchi. This restaurant decided to offer this special menu item to celebrate the relocation of the Fighters' minor league team's home field. (Hidehito Okamoto, Ramen Kamon) "I'm looking forward to being able to go watch games now that a baseball stadium is being built. I'm excited thinking that this town will become a place where children can have dreams and hopes." At that moment, Eniwa erupted in joy. (Kenji Kobayashi, Executive Officer, Fighters Sports & Entertainment) "The Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters have tentatively decided on Eniwa City as the relocation site for their farm team." The day after the announcement of the farm team's relocation site, the celebratory mood continued in the "Megumino Shopping Association," which is close to the planned site. The shop fronts were lined with bagels made with Hokkaido-grown wheat! The shop owner, Ryota Kakui, serves as the vice chairman of the shopping association, and to commemorate the farm team's relocation, he will be starting a service from July 6th where customers who buy three or more items will receive one free bagel. (Ryota Kakui, Vice Chairman of the Megumino Shopping Association) "The locals are incredibly excited, so I'd like everyone to enjoy it together. It would be great if this could spark conversations between shop owners and locals about how good it is and how much they're looking forward to it." Furthermore, real estate agents in the same shopping district are already receiving numerous inquiries. (Koichi Hiramatsu, Pine Sumiyuki Eniwa Store) "With the second-string facility being built so close by, I expect land prices to rise considerably. I think this will accelerate the city's development." According to estimates by Mitsubishi UFJ Research & Consulting and others, the economic effect over the construction period and the first 10 years after opening will reach 220 billion yen. A business hotel is under construction west of JR Megumino Station, the closest station to the farm, and these redevelopment efforts are likely to accelerate further following the relocation. While there is excitement, challenges are also emerging. (Tomoyasu, Reporter) "This is the planned construction site for the minor league team's home field. Across the street is a residential area, and there's a lot of traffic even during weekday afternoons." This raises concerns about traffic. The road is only one lane in each direction and has heavy traffic. There are worries about congestion and on-street parking once the facility is completed. (Eniwa Resident) "I'm worried about traffic jams. The road isn't that wide, so I wonder what will happen when 5,000 people move around. On-street parking might increase." Experts point out that cooperation with the local government is essential to resolving these issues. (Tomoya Ohno, Mitsubishi UFJ Research & Consulting) "The issues of noise and traffic congestion, and how to gain the understanding of local residents in cooperation with the government, are clear challenges. While it's exciting, I'm also watching to see where this large-scale project for a minor league baseball field will ultimately lead." The relocation of the farm team is generating great expectations for regional revitalization. Aiming for an opening between 2030 and 2031, the key to success will likely be how the team and local government cooperate to develop the town.
