A LIFE WITH LOCAL FOOTBALL
Before the match day
Choose a match to watch
Tochigi SC have 21 home matches at Tochigi Green Stadium in a season.
For the detailed schedule of the season, see ‘FIXTURES & RESULTS.’
Purchase a ticket
You can purchase one at convenience stores, ticket agency or online.
For detailed procedure, see ‘TICKETS.’
Head for the stadium
The best way is to take an express bus from Utsunomiya station. The bus operation starts four hours before the kick-off. The bus leaves every 20 minutes and will take around 30 minutes to the stadium.
You can also directly drive to the stadium and park at the free parking lot. Free bus service is available between the parking lot and the stadium.
Stadium, here we are! You can enjoy a variety of Tochigi’s local food at the food court. Above all, try gyoza (Chinese dumplings). This is the MUST. Also, you can enjoy fried noodles, udon noodles, Japanese omelet and so many kinds of dish and snacks. If you are going to spectate in home area, later you can enjoy Da Neide’s Brazilian food. It’s highly recommended.
Official merchandise store deals in a variety of items such as kits, cheering towels, T-shirts, stationery, and homewares. They accept credit cards.
You can buy a ticket if you don’t have any yet. Visit the ticket booth near the merchandise store.
Tochigi Green Stadium has three check-in gates: home (on the left hand), center and visitors (on the right hand). Check in at an appropriate gate for your ticket.
If your seat type is ‘SS’, ‘S’ or ‘ウイングシート’: you can check in at any gate.
‘A’ or ‘B’: check in either at ‘home’ or ‘visitors’ gate and go the back stand through the aisles behind the north or south stand.
‘ホームゴール裏 (north stand for home fans): check in at ‘home.’
‘アウェイゴール裏 (south stand for visiting fans): check in at ‘visitors.’
If you have received an electronic ticket on your mobile device, pass the two-dimensional code over the scanner.
Find a seat
A lower seat of main/back stand allows you to witness powerful match-up. On an upper seat, you can easily grasp the whole tactical situation. Watching on a middle seat is a hybrid of these two advantages. You have to stand watching in home/visitor stand, but you’ll experience some excitement produced by enthusiastic fans. Find your favorite place among those areas.
As the two teams enter the field, TSC fans wave their cheering towels. And just before the kick-off, they sing their anthem, the prefectural anthem of Tochigi. These are famous scenes at Green Stadium.
Half time
Enjoy the performance of the official cheerleading team ‘SC Cheers.’
Full time
The bus bound for Utsunomiya station will leave right after the match ends. Wait in a line at the same place you got off the bus before the match. Show your round-trip ticket to the staff when you get on.
If you go back to the parking lot, you can take a free bus there.
