On the 1st, Kimitsu City announced the "(tentative name) Sadamoto Comprehensive Park Development Basic Plan" regarding the construction of Lotte's new farm team facilities.

The project, named "CO-FIELD KIMITSU," aims not only to enhance the team's training environment but also to become a new landmark not only in Kimitsu City but also in the southern Chiba area, attracting many people not only on game days but on a daily basis.

Lotte will continue to work with Kimitsu City to promote the project, aiming for an opening in 2030.

Shunsuke Kosaka, President of the Marines: "We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the citizens of Kimitsu City for their understanding and to all those involved for their efforts in the announcement of the basic development plan by Kimitsu City. Since the signing of the basic agreement last year, we have been discussing with the people of Kimitsu City and considering what kind of value The Marines can create for the community through the development of a new farm team facility. As the project name 'CO-FIELD KIMITSU' suggests, the new farm team facility will be a training base that supports the growth of the players, and at the same time, we aim for it to become a hub for future community development that is familiar to the people of the community and where many people can gather and interact. We will continue to work in cooperation with the people of Kimitsu City towards opening in 2030."
