Announcement of Antlers Stadium Camp 2026 supported by JA Kyosai Federation Ibaraki, a sustainable evolution of the pitchside accommodation experience that has continued since 2018 (June 27-28)

*Updated on Wednesday, June 17, 2026

We will be holding a special event, "Antlers Stadium Camp 2026 supported by JA Kyosairen Ibaraki," where participants can experience an overnight stay on the pitch of Mercari Stadium for two days from Saturday, June 27th to Sunday, June 28th.



This event, which started in 2018, is now in its sixth year and has been well-received by many participants each time. This summer, we will be significantly revamping the program under the theme of "Sustainable Camping to Enjoy Local Bounty and Connect to the Future." While keeping the excitement of camping in the extraordinary space of a stadium, we have prepared a fulfilling two days where families and friends can learn about nature and sustainability while having fun and taking action through various cooperative activities.


Make wonderful memories on the stadium pitch, a place you normally can't enter, and do something good for the planet and the local community. We invite you to join this new style of camping!


Event Overview

[Fully Enjoy Local Bounty! "Ibaraki-grown Sustainable BBQ"]
With the cooperation of JA Kyosairen Ibaraki, dinner will be a special barbecue featuring plenty of "organic vegetables" carefully grown by local farmers in Ibaraki Prefecture, and "off-spec vegetables" that are delicious to eat despite their irregular shapes! By enjoying delicious food, you naturally contribute to reducing food loss and promoting local production for local consumption.



[Let's actually use "eco-friendly items" from the stadium!]
For your BBQ meal, we will provide environmentally friendly items that are familiar at Antlers home games.


■Green Planet® cutlery:
These spoons and forks are 100% plant-derived and decompose naturally, making them eco-friendly.


■Peel-off cups:
When you're done, just "peel off" the inner film! You can experience innovative cups that can be recycled as paper resources without washing.



[Learn while having fun! Climate change actions and local Ibaraki's eco-friendly systems]
You will experience and learn about the climate change actions Antlers is undertaking in a fun and easy-to-understand way. Furthermore, as an example of local Ibaraki's familiar eco-initiatives, we will introduce the "resource recycling" system at "Rappopo Namegata Farmers Village," where potato residue (leftovers) is efficiently reused as fertilizer, allowing parents and children to learn about the spread of eco-friendly practices starting from everyday life.
