[SA Urayasu] Information overload for the host game opener!?

Tomorrow is the host game opener for my top-recommended team, the Arcs.
However, there is so much advance information being shared on social media that it's an information overload, so I've organized it to check my own schedule.

Tomorrow's match is the "Chiba Derby <Tokyo Bay Match>"

The team the Arcs are welcoming to their sacred ground, Chichibunomiya Rugby Stadium, is the Kubota Spears Funabashi Tokyo Bay (S Tokyo Bay).
Since both teams are based in Chiba Prefecture and include "Tokyo Bay" in their team names, it is called the "Chiba Derby <Tokyo Bay Match>".
However, since "Bay-Bay-Buoy-Buoy" is confusing, I will refer to them as the Spears in this article.

Enthusiasm for the host game opener

Surprisingly, the countdown began the day after the previous match ended.

Lots of events at the match venue

Since then, information about venue events has been coming in daily. There are so many tweets that I've roughly organized them in chronological order.

① "Ao-Happi" gift (vs. Orange Army?)

Tomorrow, an "Ao-Happi" will be distributed to all attendees. It seems to be a blue happi coat with the Arcs logo on the back.
Hearing this reminds me of the Spears' "Orange Operation."
Last season, they distributed "Orange Army" uniforms (baseball shirts) to all attendees at every match, and the stands were dyed orange.
For someone like me who likes rugby more than any specific team and wants to watch various matches, it was a welcome feeling.
The Spears have many core fans, and I'm sure many fans will bring their uniforms tomorrow as well.

How much can they dye the stands blue against a tough opponent?
The Arcs Ao-Happi vs. Orange Army in the stands is also a must-see!?*Note: The Azabu University Wild Bird Research Club will not be coming.

② New products and first-time vendors

Original merchandise booths featuring new items, as well as the raw honey specialty store "PBees" and the Sydney-style cafe in Urayasu City, "Bountiful Coffee," will be opening at Chichibunomiya Rugby Stadium for the first time.
They are apparently favorite shops of the players, so for those who live far from Urayasu, this is a chance to enjoy the same tastes as the players!

③ "Aim for the most fun trash pickup in Japan!"

As part of the Arcs' SDGs activities, they are conducting a trash pickup around Chichibunomiya Rugby Stadium to aim for clean streets and oceans. It seems that those who wish to participate can do so by registering on the day. Click here for details.

④ Ticket stub is a must, the first test of luck this year?

During halftime, there will be a grand lottery using ticket seat numbers.
It seems no entry is required as long as you have your ticket stub in hand after entering (*Note: Same applies to QR codes).

There are many luxurious prizes, such as a 1-night, 2-day stay at the Tokyo Bay Tokyu Hotel (with breakfast), a 1-night, 2-day stay at the ibis Styles Tokyo Bay (with breakfast), and a dinner voucher for the Hotel Okura Tokyo Bay. Personally, I am interested in the Urayasu City specialty products.
Anyway, the ticket stub is a must!

⑤ SpoLive collaboration campaign (mobile app)

This is a mobile app event that can be enjoyed regardless of whether you are inside or outside the venue, but there is a collaboration campaign where you can win items like autographed colored paper from both captains through a lottery by using support stamps.SpoLive isavailable here.

Note that items ①, ②, ④, and ⑤ above were created with reference tothis page.

⑥ Chichibunomiya Radio on stand.fm? (mobile app)

Until last year, when matches were held at Chichibunomiya Rugby Stadium, there was play-by-play commentary available on a venue-limited radio frequency. It was a very convenient service for those who wanted to watch at the venue but didn't know the rules well, ensuring they wouldn't be left behind.
I also enjoyed the candid commentary from former Suntory player Kiyoshi Imaizumi as a long-time rugby fan, but I was wondering what would happen this year now that match operations have been transferred to each team.
It seems that a project to replace it will be live-streamed during the match using the mobile audio streaming app "stand.fm". Moreover, it is said to be a project by Kohei Kizu.
Since it is a mobile app, you can enjoy it whether you are inside or outside the venue by downloading the app andfollowing this.

It's an era where you can enjoy matches using mobile apps regardless of where you are (looking into the distance).

⑦ GLOCAL SEAT (Yamada Seat)

The "Yamada Seat" is where Arcs player Akihito Yamada invites elementary school students to official matches of the new league.

Since tomorrow is a host game, I believe it will be held (by advance application).
Among the invited children, there might be a future League One player.

Match registration member announcement

Now, for the crucial match, the members have been announced.
Compared to the previous match, Ryuji Fujimura, Rinshi Kin, and Taiji Hongo have joined the starting lineup, and Rui Sannomiya, Keishi Mezaki, and Sho Koizumi have joined the reserves.

An interview with Shane Gates (captain) and

a message of enthusiasm from Jeong-Gyu Kim (club captain) have also been released.

On the other hand, for the Spears, please also take a look at the article by donmai330 from the fan collaborative note project. It introduces their favorites from a core fan's perspective♪

By the way, my focus is on the fly-half battle betweenmy favorite Otere Blackand Spears' Tomoki Kishioka!

Summary

The Arcs were defeated last season. Will there be an "Arcs' Counterattack" against the Spears'orange challenge?
Well then, \See you at Chichibunomiya, on J SPORTS, and on SpoLive/
