  There is an outdoor baseball stadium with an open and closed roof that uses natural turf, but the purpose of roofing is to eliminate rain in the game, and there is a problem of curing natural turf for multipurpose use. As described above, it is difficult to use an outdoor baseball stadium that uses natural turf for multiple purposes due to weather restrictions and restrictions on natural turf cultivation.

  In addition, even in the case of artificial turf in an indoor baseball stadium (dome baseball stadium), the size of the space is that of a baseball stadium, that is, there is an area required for play and a ceiling height that does not hit the ball. Therefore, the volume of the space becomes huge, and as a result, for example, the space is too large to hold a show or a music event, and the reverberation is too long acoustically unsuitable for a music event, and can be performed Events are limited, and the baseball field is not being used effectively.

  Furthermore, both initial costs and running costs such as air conditioning equipment for air conditioning a huge indoor space and an opening / closing mechanism for opening and closing the entire roof increase.

  The present invention eliminates the inconvenience of the conventional example, and can be easily used for multipurpose purposes such as music events other than baseball in outdoor baseball fields, particularly outdoor baseball fields using natural turf. It is to provide an outdoor baseball stadium that can easily form a space suitable for events and shows.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, in an outdoor baseball stadium in which an infield spectator seat and an outfield spectator seat are arranged around the field and the upper part of the infield spectator seat is covered with a scissors, it is movable in the direction of the infield side field. The roof is superposed on the fence, and a movable partition wall extending in the infield side field direction is provided at the boundary between the infield side audience seat and the outfield side audience seat, and the movable roof is continuous with the movable partition wall, The infield spectator seat and infield field can be formed as an indoor theater space by slidably superimposing on either the upper surface or the lower surface and moving above the infield field along the guide rail provided on the upper surface of the cage. The gist of this is

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, a closed indoor theater space can be formed by surrounding the infield side audience seat and the infield side field with the movable roof and the movable partition wall. In this case, the infield spectator seats are inherently well-equipped as baseball field facilities, and the plan is suitable for watching the infield field. A theater space can be easily formed.

  Since this space is about one-tenth of the entire field and is small-scale, movable equipment is sufficient, and initial costs and running costs can be reduced.

  In addition, since the field used for the indoor theater space is only the infield field, even if the field is natural turf, the portion of natural turf that becomes indoor is less than 1/10 of the total turf area, Curing is easy.

Furthermore, since the movable roof is superposed on a fixed fence when not in use, it does not get in the way, and when used, it can cover the upper side of the infield side field simply by pulling it out in the direction of the infield side field. Easy.

The invention described in claim 2 is a movable base that projects in the direction of the infield side field in an outdoor baseball field in which an infield side spectator seat and an outfield side spectator seat are arranged around the field, and the upper part of the infield side spectator seat is covered with a bag. The roof is superposed on the fence, and a movable partition wall extending in the infield side field direction is provided at the boundary between the infield side audience seat and the outfield side audience seat, and a storage space for storing the movable partition wall when not in use is provided. The gist is that the infield side audience seat and the infield side field can be formed as an indoor theater space by being installed at the boundary between the side audience seat and the outfield side audience seat .

According to the second aspect of the present invention, in addition to the above action, the movable partition wall is stored in the storage space when not in use, so that it does not get in the way. With this, you can easily partition the field space. The movable partition wall is integrated with the movable roof to construct a stable structure to form an indoor theater space.

  As described above, the outdoor baseball stadium of the present invention uses the well-equipped infield side spectator seat and the infield side field part, and surrounds this part with a movable roof or a movable partition wall to create an indoor theater space. Since it can be formed compactly, it can be easily used for various purposes such as music events other than baseball, and a space suitable for music events and shows can be easily formed.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view showing an embodiment of an outdoor baseball field of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view of the same, and the overall structure of the outdoor baseball field is a field 1 including an infield side field 1a and an outfield side field 1b as is well known. The audience seats are arranged so as to surround this field 1.

  As for the audience seats, an infield side audience seat 4 including a conventional back net back seat is arranged behind the infield side field 1a, and an outfield side audience seat 5 is arranged on both sides thereof. The infield-side spectator seat 4 is more fully equipped than the outfield-side spectator seat 5, and a fixed basket 6 is installed in a fan shape above it.

  In the outdoor baseball stadium having such a configuration, a door pocket 8 as a storage space is installed behind the boundary between the infield side spectator seat 4 and the outfield side spectator seat 5, and the movable partition wall 7 is stored in the door pocket 8. The movable partition wall 7 divides the infield side spectator seat 4 and the outfield side spectator seat 5 from each other, and is further extended so as to divide the infield side field 1a and the outfield side field 1b. In the example shown in FIG.

  The storage space is not limited to the door pocket 8 as shown in the figure, and can be formed as a simple empty space without such an enclosure, and the movable partition wall 7 can be stored in an exposed state.

  A substantially triangular movable roof 9 is superposed on either side of either the upper surface or the lower surface of the cage 6. The movable roof 9 is slidably installed in this direction so as to cover the upper side of the infield side field 1a, and a guide rail 10 for moving the movable roof 9 is laid on the eaves 6.

  The movable roof 9 is superposed on the left and right portions of the fixed cage 6 continuously to the movable partition wall 7, and when superposed on the lower surface of the cage 6, the guide rail 10 is installed on the lower surface of the cage 6 and is movable. The roof 9 is suspended from the guide rail 10.

  It is also possible to form the movable roof 9 in one piece continuously with one of the movable partition walls 7 at the side.

  When such a facility is used as a baseball stadium, the movable roof 9 is stored so as to overlap the upper or lower fixed cage 6, and the movable partition wall 7 is also stored in the door pocket 8. Therefore, the movable roof 9 and the movable partition wall 7 do not interfere with baseball play or watching games.

  In order to use such a baseball field for a performance such as a music event or a show, the movable roof 9 is drawn along the guide rail 10 in the direction of the infield side field 1a as shown in FIGS. Cover the top of la. In this state, the movable roof 9 drawn out from both sides of the fixed rod 6 has a shape of a quarter circle as a whole, with the tip and the opposite sides protruding, and is continuous with the rod 6.

  Further, the movable partition wall 7 is pulled out from the door pocket 8 and extended in the direction of the infield side field 1a, and is disposed between the infield side spectator seat 4 and the outfield side spectator seat 5, and the infield side field 1a and the outfield side field. 1b. In this state, the movable partition walls 7 drawn from both sides of the infield side field 1a are attached to each other at an angle of 90 degrees.

  In this case, if the movable roof 9 and the movable wall 7 are integrally formed as shown in FIG. 4, the movable roof 9 and the movable wall 7 move in a stable state and are installed in the field 1. Sufficient strength can be obtained when closed.

  With the movable roof 9 and the movable partition wall 7, the open portion in front of the infield-side spectator seat 4 is closed to form an indoor theater space 2. The movable roof 9 and the movable partition wall 7 that close the open portion are combined to form a stable structure.

  The indoor theater space 2 formed as described above is formed mainly by the well-equipped infield-side spectator seats 4, and the infield-side spectator seats 4 are oriented in such a direction that the infield-side field 1a is easy to see. Therefore, if the infield side field 1a is used as an event stage part, an easy-to-use indoor theater space 2 can be obtained.

  In addition, since the space is just the infield side field 1a added to the infield side spectator seat 4, it is compact, the running cost of air conditioning and the like can be kept low, and the movable mechanism such as the roof does not become large. I'm sorry.

  Furthermore, even if field 1 is natural turf, forming indoor theater space 2 will reduce the area of turf that needs to be cured indoors to about 1/10 of the total turf area. Curing is easy. In addition, when aiming at prevention of an injury of a player, since it is requested | required that the outfield side field 1b should be natural grass, only the part of this infield side field 1a can also be made into artificial grass.
