The new Hiroshima Municipal Baseball Stadium, built on a different site from the old one, is an asymmetrical stadium designed in consideration of its proximity to JR lines and the Shinkansen bullet train, as well as the layout of the stadium to make it easier for spectators to watch games. The concourse, which is 600m in circumference, is a space where children can play, and the "ring structure" advocated by Mitsuru Senda is applied. The lower part of the concourse is made of reinforced concrete and the upper part is made of precast concrete.
