VAoJ S2023RT Arc @ Yokohama Stadium: Hanshin Tigers vs. Yokohama DeNA Baystars (6/25/23)

So after I disembarked the bullet train, I made my way to my hotel (very close to the stadium), dropped off my luggage and went to the game. I sat in the recently added (and inexpensive) wing seats (designed for a more extensive view, in other words, the nosebleed section...). I was happy that most of the people around me were Hanshin fans (often with interesting comments in Kansai-ben). Unfortunately, Hanshin lost. But it was a great time with lots of fodder for research. Much of the special Baystars food products were Chinese dishes. In fact, the whole stadium smelled like Chinese food. Check out the links at the end of the post for information about the game, the problematic starting pitcher for the Baystars, the wing seats and food items.
I was given this flyer with a menu and instruction how to order on one's smartphone.
