* We aim to improve access by working with local residents and local businesses to increase the number of reserved parking lots around the stadium. *
*This is the first time that we are collaborating with a sports club that calls Prefecture its home. *
Renofa FC is a soccer club whose hometowns are all cities and towns in Prefecture. In addition to enlivening our hometown, Prefecture, through soccer, we are also working on “regional revitalization and town development.”
As many supporters drive to their home stadium, Ishin Miraifu Stadium, the surrounding roads become crowded on match days, causing traffic jams. Additionally, the stadium is the only Type 1 official track and field stadium in the prefecture, with a capacity of 15,000 people, and the number of parking lots is insufficient for the stadium’s size, so there are issues with the lack of parking lots and the accompanying driving. It has become.
Akippa has so far partnered with 35 professional sports clubs across the country and is working to solve parking-related issues.
This time, we have decided to collaborate with Renofa FC to improve access within Prefecture by utilizing parking lots around the stadium.
First, we will increase the number of parking spaces that can be reserved in advance by inviting people from the area around the stadium and local businesses to rent out parking spaces at Aquippa. By increasing the number of parking lots in the surrounding area, it is expected that there will be no shortage of parking spaces during games, and traffic to the stadium will be dispersed, which will help prevent road congestion and congestion.
Supporters can also reserve parking spaces in advance, so they can access the venue with peace of mind on the day of the event. The parking lot development will be carried out in collaboration between DeNA SOMPO Carlife, Akippa’s sole agent, and Renofa FC.
We will also develop parking spaces with the aim of renting out 200 reserved parking spaces by June 2024.
In the future, we will work to utilize reserved parking lots and solve traffic issues not only in the area around Ishin Miraifu Stadium but throughout Prefecture.
In order to further enhance the appeal of Prefecture, we will strive to create an environment that is easily accessible not only by local residents but also by tourists visiting Prefecture for trips and events.
