宇都宮ブレックス、新アリーナ資金難航 収容上限収入増見込めず ライバルは新アリーナで売り上げ上々 【読売新聞】バスケットボール・B1リーグの宇都宮ブレックスが新シーズンを迎えた。アリーナは満員の観客で、収容上限に迫っており、さらなる収入増加は望みにくい状況だ。ライバルは新アリーナで売り上げを伸ばし、後れを取りかねないが、新アリー

Interesting #BLeague story on how the Utsunomiya Brex are hitting capacity at their current venue but haven't been able to get a proposed new arena project off the ground, in stark contrast to clubs like Chiba Jets and Alvark Tokyo who have opened new flashy arenas that are bringing in big ¥¥¥.

Neon Genesis Evangelion being such a massive hit in the US was not a coincidence (or Misato being a hottie), it was a warning.

I just noticed something incredibly weird -

In MLB, NPB, and CPBL the championships were all decided by the visiting team hitting a home run in the 11th inning of the final game.

What an amazing coincidence!

Like we can all agree that the most right-wing support in J is at Urawa, but the second biggest display of right-wing shit I've seen was at the Levain final y'day, when Sanfrecce supporters were so pumped about belting out Kimi ga yo that they sang over Little Glee Monster's thoughtful pauses.

Somewhere in Tokyo, a layout editor is trying to convince the managing editor that they can still go with the 150pt "Ohtani's Dodgers win World Series" headline and just add a little cutout box for Yamamoto's MVP.
