Chihō ballparks

The Eagles had planned to host two home games outside of Rakuten Seimei Park Miyagi in 2020. Both were to be played at chihō, or "countryside", ballparks in Aomori and Akita Prefectures in Japan's Tōhoku region. [2] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, however, both of games were cancelled. [3] [4]
