Tiger Corporation and Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters collaborate to solve problems in sports spectatorship at stadiums! Days Watching Baseball with Tiger Bottles

Tiger Corporation (President: Yoshisato Kikuchi, Headquarters: Kadoma City, Osaka) (“Tiger” or “we”), a world leader in thermal control technology, will hold the “Days Watching Baseball with Tiger Bottles – Bring Your Own Bottle for the Environment” campaign in collaboration with the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters for the series of three games to be held at Es Con Field Hokkaido from June 14 (Fri) to 16 (Sun). The aim is to encourage spectators to bring their own bottles to stadiums to drink from while watching sports games.

The problems that arise at venues where people watch sports include drinks getting lukewarm while watching the game, which is an issue for spectators, and lots of waste being left at the venue after the game, which creates trouble for organizers and operators.

After releasing vacuum-insulated bottles that can hold carbonated drinks such as beer* in January 2022, many customers shared their thoughts with us. Some said that they wanted to carry their bottle with them when they go to watch sports matches, as it allows them to put any drink they like in the bottle. Others opined that the bottle is perfect for carrying with them when they go to sports matches because it allows them to enjoy cold carbonated drinks at anytime.

Inspired by the opinions that our customers have shared with us, we have been making efforts since 2022 to encourage sports spectators to bring their own bottles to stadiums when they go to watch games. Our first “Days Watching Baseball with Tiger Bottles – Bring Your Own Bottle for the Environment” campaign with the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters was held from August 4 (Fri) to 6 (Sun), 2023. Over the three days, more than 1,500 people brought their own Tiger vacuum-insulated bottles to the venue. This year, as a season-long initiative, a 100 yen discount on “Sora to Shiba Play Ball! Ale,” a type of craft beer, will be offered at Sora to Shiba by Yona Yona Ale, a restaurant in Es Con Field Hokkaido that brews their own craft beer. The discount will be offered starting April 2 (Tue), only to those who bring a Tiger vacuum-insulated carbonated bottle. Plus, sales of Fighters×Sora to Shiba Vacuum Insulated Carbonated Bottles will begin on May 21 (Tue). The first 500 customers to purchase these bottles during the three-day period from June 14 (Fri) to 16 (Sun) will receive an organic cotton drawstring bag featuring a design of Efutan, a bear cub who lives in Hokkaido Ballpark F Village.

Going forward, Tiger Corporation will continue to deliver new value to society by focusing on issues surrounding sports spectatorship.

*When using this product as a container for alcoholic beverages, please comply with the laws and regulations of your country or region.
