Reserved seating and plenty of time.

When going to a game as a couple, we recommend that you get reserved seats. Since you don't have to go early to secure a seat like you do with unreserved seats, you can get there shortly before game time to enjoy the atmosphere of the stadium and the extensive food menu.

Taste Carp Food

There are many concession stands in the concourses of Mazda Stadium. The stadium food is called "Carp Food "and all the stores are bustling with people. It is hard to decide what to eat.
The most classic is "Carp Udon ". This restaurant has been around since the old Municipal Stadium before Mazda Stadium was built, and is a firm favorite. The "All on top ", which has meat, tempura, and kitsune all on top, is a good choice for couples to share as it is very hearty. The warm and gentle taste of the dashi broth is especially good on chilly spring and fall days. It is topped with a fish cake with the C logo of the Carp and looks cute.
