Facilitator Mr. Kanayama took the stage while many interviewers gathered at the venue. The concept "SCRAMBLE STADIUM SHIBUYA" was announced to build a stadium in Yoyogi Park that is also a base for sports and entertainment, a base for local communities, and a base for disaster prevention. The session has progressed.
In his opening speech, Kawabuchi said, "It's wonderful not only to play soccer, but to aim for a place where people can always gather. Above all, I'm very happy that the stadium concept is raised from the private sector." "The idea of creating a city rather than a stadium is important," and from an entertainment perspective, citing the current situation in Tokyo, where there is a shortage of concert venues, this stadium is ideal for the industrial development of sports and entertainment. It is necessary to have an idea from the user's point of view, not a form or official idea. "
In addition, Mr. Fukunishi insisted on the need for a close relationship with the local community, saying that "the most important thing for athletes to exert their strength is a sense of unity with supporters," while Mr. Tsubota said, "Children now. It is said that there is no dream, but that is because adults have not been able to work vigorously and make children have a "longing". " He enthusiastically said that he wanted him to become a city where he was born.
In the discussion of the stadium in such a local community, Mr. Hayashi said, "It is the last century to think about dividing the place by" function ". By interacting with various people who gather there without dividing the space, Everyone is involved in the place and becomes a "participant". Then, the citizens take pride in trying to create the place better by themselves, "he explained the importance of creating a place open to the citizens.
Taking the area around the stadium in Dortmund, Germany as an example, Mr. Nakanishi said that "culture" is born in a place where people gather at a restaurant after a soccer match, where children are mixed and have discussions forever. He also expressed the view that it is necessary to have a perspective of urban development / community development, which is not limited to games and business, and even to lifestyle proposals.
After such discussions, Mr. Kawabuchi finally said, "The world doesn't go well because I try to make" common sense judgments. " I was impressed by the way Kanayama sent an ale saying, "I want you to collect it," and Kanayama, who received it, reminded me, "I want to continue discussions and realize it."
After that, in the second part, Mr. Uebayashi gave a presentation introducing actual examples of ball parks in the world, and the audience seemed to listen while imagining a new ball park that might be born in Shibuya. .. Starting from the stadium concept, it was an event full of hope and expectations, reminiscent of the overall future image of the city of Shibuya.
