Its unique atmosphere and history make it a place that even non-baseball fans should visit at least once.

The stadium's features include ivy covering the outfield, a natural grass field that is rare in professional baseball, and a dirt field that is famous for the sand being taken home. During the high school baseball season, baseball players from all over the country play heated games, and many people are moved by their dedication. Meanwhile, during the professional baseball season, enthusiastic Hanshin Tigers fans fill the stands and support the players with their unique cheering style. The sight of jet balloons flying is known as a Koshien specialty.
