On "Kids Day Anton Land," a stadium map with a three-dimensional illustration of the entire stadium will be distributed to children. The front side is the "Mercari Stadium Adventure Map 2026," which shows the facility layout of the stadium at a glance, and the back side is a special specification that includes a "Quest Log" that parents and children can challenge together and a "Log" to record the day's viewing experience.
[How to enjoy the Adventure Map]
・Challenge quests!
Clear three or more "Eat," "Research," and "Play" quests on the back to get a special sticker as a reward!
