Welcome to Jingu Stadium,

Tokyo Big6 Baseball Teams

History

Keio University- Established: 1888

Dating from 1925, the intercollegiate Tokyo Big6 league is theoldest baseball league in Japan, consisting of six prominent
universities in Tokyo.

Meiji University- Established: 1910

Jingu Stadium was completed with the help of Tokyo Big6 in
1926 with a capacity of 31,000 featuring large open seatingareas. Renovated in later years, it currently provides individual
seating for 31,828.
The Tokyo Big6 logo is an hexagonal arrangement of 6 kanji ofthe character “dai” which means “big” and is the first characterin the Japanese term for university, “daigaku.” The “B.B.L.”
inside the hexagon are the Leagueʼs initials symbolizing the six
universities coming together to play baseball.
The Spring season starts on the second Saturday in April and theAutumn season on the second Saturday in September. Game
series are held on weekends so that each team matches up twiceover 8 weeks, except the last weekend is reserved for games
between Waseda and Keio. Their baseball rivalry is sometimes
compared to the Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race in the U.K.

Hosei University- Established: 1915
The University of Tokyo- Established: 1919
Rikkyo University- Established: 1909 (RIKKIO on team uniforms)
Waseda University- Established: 1901

GamesThe six teams play two eight-week seasons in the spring andautumn of each year.
Games are played on weekends, where teams play each otheruntil one team wins two games, thus earning a point toward theseason standings.
The seasonʼs ranking is decided by order of points or by thewinning percentage if points are tied. If there is a tie in bothpoints and winning percentage, the ranking order of previous
season will prevail except for the top teams then the champion isdecided by a playoff.
Games start on Saturday mornings, allowing for teams to playseries against each other twice, or three times if necessary,during the season, except for the final weekend that is reserved
for the Waseda vs Keio games.
