They do still play in Lotte Urawa. The schedule is on the Marines' website, in Japanese only. However it's easy to figure out the home games even if you don't read Japanese; they are the ones in white.
One of these days I will translate it for my site!

Yep, that's the stadium.
You can feed the schedule through Google Translate to get the info in English.

Yeah, I ended up googling Lotte and found it. Probably should have done that first. It looks like they are playing Seibu this weekend so I'll try to go and give a report.
Thanks!

I'm thinking about going there this Sunday as well, if the weather is good.
Maybe I'll see you there!

I've been there a ton of times in the past. If you go, especially on a weekend, go EARLY, because there are pretty much 3 benches on either side that count as the "stands". It's free, but getting a seat is pretty difficult. I've never been able to sit on the Marines' side, period. Weekdays aren't quite as bad, if you can make it out then.
I have a hunch that a weekend game against Seibu will be even more crowded just because of that Kikuchi kid.
Some people just go there towards the end of the game and stalk the players coming out for autographs -- it IS a good spot to catch players, but...

I actually cruised by there today. Lotte and Yomiuri have a combined team named Sirius who were playing a company team from Gunma called Pegasus.
I might try for tomorrow. I've never been to a game but I have seen the Yomiuriland facility from an air gondola. It's pretty cool. The Lotte facility is more bare bones. I'm gonna try for tomorrow. I figure a lot of people are working so maybe I can snag a spot.
Living in Urawa for two years and I didn't even know this little gem was right down the street!

So did your weekend attempt for a game work out?
Pegasus isn't a company team, btw -- it's an independent league team in the "Baseball Challenge League" which spans Ishikawa, Toyama, Niigata, Fukui, Gunma, and Nagano.

No..............I was shooting for Friday but the weather ruled it out.
It's funny you mention that league because I was up in Niigata on Saturday and walked by the stadium. It's beautiful from the outside, surprised there hasn't been more talk of them getting an NPB team.

Actually, the prefecture has a "Bring Pro Baseball To Niigata" [Yakyu Baka] committee that's trying to get an NPB team to move some home games to the new park.

Jason Coskrey had an article in the Japan Times this weekend regarding an interview with Ryozo Kato (NPB Commisioner). He talks about wanting to bring NPB to Niigata in the future.

Do you know if Lotte's Ni-Gun still plays in Saitama? I live near the Lotte Chocolate Factory in Musashi-Urawa and am wondering if the big stadium there is used for Ni-Gun. Any info on when games are played?
Thanks
Go Chunichi!
