We distributed "Antlers Original Hair Ties" free of charge to the first 10,000 visitors. Everyone seemed to enjoy them.
We set up a "Everyone's Photo Spot" to allow visitors to enjoy taking photos to their heart's content at Kashima Stadium before the match. This photo spot featured all the players, based on everyone's feedback of "I want to take photos with this kind of background!"
Everyone enjoyed taking two-shot photos with the players, who were larger than life-size.
