Playing against the Takamatsu Five Arrows, they not only achieved back-to-back consecutive wins, but won by a wide margin. For the first home game, they won by a whopping 48 points, 120-72. And the next day, it was a 30-point lead at 92-62.<\/p>\n<p>I saw the first game on Oct. 10, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/photoguide.jp\/pix\/thumbnails.php?album=144\">photos are here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I also pretty much completed my <a href=\"https:\/\/photoguide.jp\/txt\/Shiga_Lakestars\" target=\"_self\">Shiga Lakestars page here<\/a>, with game schedule, directions to home game venues, and team roster.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/photoguide.jp\/pix\/displayimage.php?album=144\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/photoguide.jp\/pix\/albums\/shiga\/yasu\/lakestars20091010\/lt177-20091010_5688.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Note that they no longer allow outside food and drinks to be brought into home game venues in Shiga. At the gymnasium entrance in Yasu, they even searched people&#8217;s rucksacks for any food or drink and required us to discard them. So I drank my drink and ate my rice ball on the spot before going in.<br style=\"line-height: 0.5em; border-width: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;\" \/><br style=\"line-height: 0.5em; border-width: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;\" \/>No, it&#8217;s not an anti-terrorism countermeasure. They want you to buy food and drink from the vendors inside the venue. In Kyoto, there was no such restriction so apparently it is not a uniform rule for all bj-league games. Well, I already spend enough money on round-trip train fares, game tickets, guide books, and Lakestar souvenirs, so I&#8217;m not inclined to spend any more money unnecessarily.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oct. 10-11, 2009 was a great weekend for the Shiga Lakestars who played their first home games for the 2009-2010 season\u00a0in Yasu, Shiga Prefecture.
