Celebrating Hanshin Tigers with Docomo MAX Day

On September 9, 2026, an electrifying event will take place at Hanshin Koshien Stadium as the Docomo MAX Day honors the beloved Hanshin Tigers. Organised by NTT Docomo, this is a unique occasion meant to foster a deeper connection between the fans, the team, and the broader community.

Event Features

The excitement of Docomo MAX Day is marked by several engaging features:

1. Exclusive Merchandise and Stickers

Fans visiting the Docomo booth located in the Mizuno Square outside the stadium can receive special original stickers by simply showcasing their new Hanshin Tigers-themed digital card through the dポイントクラブ or d払い apps. Both new and veteran fans are encouraged to come and collect these unique designs.

2. Raffle for Merchandise at Koshien Shops

For those shopping at select shops around Koshien on the event day, any purchase over ¥1,000 through d払い will qualify you for a raffle draw at the Docomo booth. Exciting prizes include:

- A Prize: 50 lucky fans will win face towels designed with player names.

Every purchase helps contribute a portion to the fan support fund, demonstrating how 'buying means supporting'—a remarkable way to rally behind the team!

3. Interactive Social Media Campaign

Fans can also engage in a social media initiative. Those who repost specific tweets from the official Docomo Sports account will have the chance to receive a “team slogan” badge, making it a collaborative effort to amplify the collective energy of every supporter, both in-person and afar.

4. Fan Participation in the Opening Ceremony

In a standout highlight, selected fans from prior campaigns will have the opportunity to step onto the mound and throw the first pitch. This is not just a celebration of their devotion; it's a thrilling moment where fans transform into key contributors to the game's heart—an experience unique to Docomo MAX Day.

Bridging the Gap Between Fans and the Team

Through initiatives like these, Docomo understands and honors the profound role baseball plays in connecting individuals, fostering community, and creating shared memories across generations. Instead of being mere spectators, fans are encouraged to become active participants in the Tigers' journey.

By utilizing the Hanshin Tigers-themed dポイント and d払い services, supporters aren't just cheering; they are directly contributing to the team's success. By investing in the local baseball culture, Docomo aims to create connections that evoke a sense of belonging within the sports community.

The support fund's impressive total, reaching over ¥24 million as of mid-August 2026, reveals the power of unity and shared passion among fans.

Not stopping here, Docomo is set on not just enhancing these interactive experiences but also consistently seeking feedback from fans to tailor future initiatives. Their goal remains clear: to intertwine the digital landscape with the vibrant world of sports, providing every fan with unique experiences that bridge them closer to their team, enriching their lives through the love of baseball.
