Overview
- Chunichi Shimbun, citing unnamed sources, reports an offseason renovation to shift the outfield fences forward by up to 6 meters at Rakuten Mobile Park Miyagi.
- The planned layout would bring left‑center in by about 6 meters and right‑center by about 4 meters, creating an asymmetrical configuration.
- The report notes left field often faces headwinds, and the revised dimensions are described as accounting for those conditions.
- Construction is expected to proceed with the goal of being ready for the March 31 home opener, according to the report.
- A proposal would add spectator seating in the space between the new and current fences, with the overall aim of boosting home‑run totals and fan appeal.
