Hanshin Koshien Stadium
Hello, I collect stadium seats from historic ballparks in America. I would like to possibly find one from Hanshin Koshien Stadium. Does anyone know if Hanshin Stadium was ever renovated and if there are seats or portion of benches available for purchase? I haven't been able to find answers to these questions on the net. Thank you!

Whoa! I'm a collector of pretty much anything related to NPB, small-sized, so I watch the memorabilia market and the net auctions, pretty closely, but I can't say I've ever heard of such a sale. When Rakuten remodeled for the new season, nothing from the stadium came up for sale, but perhaps because nobody had thought about it.
Maybe someone else here can give you an inside contact (which is what it would take), or you might try contacting a professional dealer.
One warning, though: a Koshien seat would likely be something that could draw an unusually high price, if it came to auction.
Good luck! I don't really want one at this time, but I'd love to see how to get such a thing, and at what price.

Koshien Stadium is due to be renovated in the next few years. I doubt the management will offer seats for sale, but it may be worth writing to them (in Japanese would be best). They may agree to let you have one.
