Q： Which ticket should I buy?
A： For the first time, it is recommended to purchase a "home unreserved seat" advance! In addition to setting a reasonable price, you can choose the seat behind the goal if you want to support firmly, the back stand side for those who want to watch slowly, and the position to sit according to the support style.
Q： What time should I go?
A： It is best to get there an hour before the kick-off.
Once you have a favorite seat that is easy to see, you can enjoy the gourmet restaurant that is open in the stadium, commonly known as "stagle", and watch the warm-up of the players.
Q： How about transportation?
A： Haruno Athletics Stadium has no public transportation in the surrounding area, so it is recommended to come by car. It is about 30 minutes from Kochi city, and you can enjoy driving feeling. There is a large parking lot on the premises.
In addition, a temporary shuttle bus runs from Kochi Station at the time of games and events, so visitors who do not use cars can access with confidence.
Q： Forced to support? If you don't know, don't you float?
A： It's okay! Applause alone is enough support.
There is a separate support area that uses shouts and drums by enthusiastic supporters, and a general watching seat that can be watched quietly, so you can enjoy it in your own style.
In addition, the support of Kochi United SC is Naruko. Applause is enough, but it can be purchased at the goods shop on the day, so if you want to feel the sense of unity of support, please feel the sound of Naruko at the stadium.

First time to watch football! Editorial Staff Experience Report
This time, the female staff of the editorial department challenges watching soccer for the first time in life! I have experienced the home game of Kochi United SC.
“What is football really like?” I asked about such questions from a beginner's point of view.
Q. I visited the stadium for the first time. What are your frank thoughts?
“It’s the first time I’ve ever seen a football game. There were more people than I expected, and it was more exciting than I imagined. When you come for the first time, you feel a little away. I don't know where to go. Laugh."
Q. The game is over. What are your frank thoughts?
"Before watching the game, I was worried because I didn't know the atmosphere in the stadium, but when the game started, the enthusiasm of support was amazing. I felt that everyone was cheering using Naruko, and I felt the local love or the unity of supporting the local community, and I felt Kochi rather than applause. Next time, I would like to support you with Naruko."
Q. About coming to see it alone?
"When I actually entered the site, I didn't know how to proceed. It's a little embarrassed that you're alone at the first time. If you go to the back of the laugh, there are various things, so I'm glad if you can easily understand the flow line up to that point by signboard guidance etc. "
Q. What did you think of watching a football match?
"It was fun! I don't know the rules, but I know if Kochi's team is attacking or being attacked, so I can support you. I could be able to enter again when the point could enter again, so I was thrilled and kept my eyes off. After that, simply the power of the venue and the speed of the players were amazing. "
Watching soccer for the first time seemed to be a fresh experience mixed with anxiety, excitement and excitement. When the game starts, you can get hot together even if you don't know the rules, and the appeal of watching soccer at the stadium is that you can get hot together. Next, I want to support Naruko in one hand as a member of the local supporters! It was a day when I felt that way.
