Bontempelli played his 150th AFL career game in round 5, where the strongly defeated . He was named as the game's best on ground by most media sources, after his 33 disposals and 3 goals helped the Bulldogs win their fifth game in a row, seeing the Bulldogs go undefeated for 5 rounds for the first time since 1946. Bontempelli again led his team to victory in round 8 of the season, where his 32 disposals, 10 clearances, 8 tackles and 1 goal saw him heralded as the team's best on ground for the game. Bontempelli equalled his highest career goal tally after kicking 4 goals in the team's 111-point victory over in round 10, again being named as best on ground. It was announced that Bontempelli had signed a four year contract with the Bulldogs on 25 May 2021, where he stated that |
97_23 | it was "an exciting time" for the Bulldogs and himself as a part of the team. By the end of round 10, Bontempelli was tipped to be the favourite for the Brownlow Medal, leading AFL.com.au's Brownlow predictor with 17 votes. |
97_24 | Personal life
Bontempelli is the younger cousin of former and player Nick Dal Santo. He supported in his youth, and cited Matthew Richardson as his all-time favourite player.
Known for his passionate activism on many social issues, Bontempelli was one of three AFL players that came together in 2015 to help advocate against violence towards women, alongside Shaun Burgoyne and Patrick Dangerfield. This was part of the Through the Line campaign. He also featured in a campaign by the Western Bulldogs in 2017 to advocate for marriage equality, where he stated "Marriage equality won't make a difference to the vast majority of Australians but it will make a profound difference to the status and dignity of many". He has volunteered for a charity called Ladder, which aims to improve life for young people in Australia by working with AFL players to mentor young people. |
97_25 | Famous actor Chris Hemsworth starred as Bontempelli in an AFL advertising campaign that ran in the early months of 2017, in order to promote the game to international audiences. Bontempelli co-authored a children's picture book with Fiona Harris, after Affirm Press acquired the rights to the book in September 2020. The book is scheduled to be released on 26 October 2021. He also appeared in a set of advertisements by AAMI insurance throughout 2021.

98_0 | Mika Stefan Hannula (born 2 April 1979) is a Swedish former professional ice hockey player.
Playing career
Hannula started playing ice hockey with Finnish team TPS. He is a hard-working and quick player with very good skating abilities. He is intense, works hard and is dangerous around the opponent's net.
Hannula was drafted in the 2002 NHL Entry Draft by Minnesota Wild with their 9th choice, 269th overall selection. During his career, he has played for three different hockey teams in the Stockholm area: AIK Hockey, Djurgårdens IF and Hammarby IF. He also tried playing in the United States for the Houston Aeros in the American Hockey League during the season 2003–04, totalling 27 points in 67 regular season games. |
98_1 | During the semifinal game in the 2006 World Championships in Riga, Latvia, against Canada, Hannula cross-checked the Canadian player Sidney Crosby to the neck and head area when Crosby was celebrating a goal he just had scored. Hannula was immediately suspended for the final game against Czech Republic, and later the IIHF Disciplinary Committee extended his suspension to the first four games of the 2007 World Championships in Moscow, Russia, plus a fine of 5,000 euro (approx. $6,400). |
98_2 | The Swedish club HV71 signed Hannula from Malmö Redhawks in April 2005, for three years. He played for the club in one season and started the 2006–07 season successfully. Although, on November 13, 2006, HV71's general manager Fredrik Stillman announced through the club's web site that Hannula will take an indefinite break from ice hockey due to personal reasons. One week later, November 20, it was noted that he participated in a training session with the Stockholm-based club Vallentuna BK, where Hannula's younger brother played at the same time. |
98_3 | On December 1, HV71's chairman Hans-Göran Frick announced that the club let Hannula go and broke his contract, which had one year left. Hannula signed on December 19 with the Russian club Lokomotiv Yaroslavl in the Russian Super League. After his first season in RSL, scoring 15 points in 23 games, Hannula signed with SKA Saint Petersburg for one year. According to media, the contract was worth approximately 770,000 euro after tax deductions. After an unsuccessful season, scoring 14 points in 46 games, he signed with HC CSKA Moscow in June 2008. |
98_4 | Hannula signed a short-term contract with Djurgårdens IF in December 2009 when Djurgården temporarily lost three players, Daniel Brodin, Jacob Josefson and Marcus Krüger, to the World Junior Hockey Championship. He had previously practiced with Djurgården's J20 team before signing on for the senior team. After his stint at Djurgården he moved on to KHL team Salavat Yulaev. Hannula played a total of 13 games, scoring 3 goals and 10 points. He moved on to league rival Metallurg Magnitogorsk for the 2010–11 KHL season; however, he was able to play only one game for the team due to an injury. His contract was terminated and he spent the rest of the 2010 fall rehabilitating. Hannula signed on again for Djurgården in the beginning of January 2011, a contract that expired at the end of the 2010–11 Elitserien season. |
98_5 | On 30 August 2011, Hannula signed a contract of unknown duration with Modo Hockey of the Swedish Elitserien. The contract ended on 16 October, one day after a game against Luleå HF which ended 3–1 in Modo's favour. Hannula recorded two goals and one assist in that game, but after just two goals in twelve games he was not expected to stay with the team. However, on 17 October 2011, Hannula extended his contract with Modo to expire on 5 November.
On 21 November 2011, the SM-liiga team Espoo Blues announced having signed the forward for the current season.

99_0 | Benbatl (foaled 15 February 2014) is a British Thoroughbred racehorse. He was unraced as a two-year-old in 2016 but in the following year he won the Hampton Court Stakes and was placed in both the Craven Stakes and the Dante Stakes as well as finishing fifth in the Epsom Derby. In 2018 he began the season in Dubai where he won the Singspiel Stakes and the Al Rashidiya before defeating a strong international field in the Dubai Turf. On his return to Europe he won the Bayerisches Zuchtrennen in Germany and was then sent to Australia where he took the Caulfield Stakes and ran second in the Cox Plate. In 2019 he secured the first of two victories in the Joel Stakes. He won the Singspiel Stakes for a second time in 2020, and the Joel Stakes for a second time in 2021. At the end of the 2021 season he was retired to stud. |
99_1 | Background
Benbatl is a bay horse with a white star bred in England by Sheikh Mohammed's Darley Stud and owned by the Godolphin organisation. He was sent into training with Saeed bin Suroor whose horses are based at Newmarket, Suffolk in summer but typically spend the winter at Godolphin's base in Dubai.
He was sired by Dubawi a top-class son of Dubai Millennium, whose wins included the Irish 2,000 Guineas and the Prix Jacques Le Marois. At stud, Dubawi has been a highly-successful breeding stallion, siring major winners such as Monterosso, Al Kazeem, Makfi, Lucky Nine and Night of Thunder. Benbatl is the first foal of his dam Nahrain who won the Prix de l'Opéra in 2011 and the Flower Bowl Invitational Stakes in 2012. Nahrain was a daughter of the Ribblesdale Stakes winner Bahr, who was in turn a granddaughter of La Mer.
Racing career |
99_2 | 2017: three-year-old season
Benbatl made his racecourse debut on 2 April 2017 when he started the 15/8 favourite for a maiden race over seven furlongs at Doncaster Racecourse in which he was ridden by Josephine Gordon and won "readily" by seven lengths from eleven opponents. The colt was immediately moved up in class and distance for the Group 3 Craven Stakes over the Rowley Mile at Newmarket Racecourse and finished third behind Eminent and Rivet, beaten two lengths by the winner. At York Racecourse in May he contested the Group 2 Dante Stakes (a major trial race the Epsom Derby) over ten furlongs. He started the 4/1 favourite but after briefly taking the lead in the straight he was beaten into second place by the Mark Johnston-trained Permian, with Crystal Ocean and Rekindling in third and fourth. |
99_3 | In the 2017 Epsom Derby was the least-fancied of the three Godolphin runners and started a 20/1 outsider. After turning into the straight last of the eighteen runners he made steady progress and came home fifth behind Wings of Eagles, Cliffs of Moher, Cracksman and Eminent. Nineteen days later at Royal Ascot the colt started the 9/2 second choice in the betting behind the Aidan O'Brien-trained Orderofthegarter in the Group 3 Hampton Court Stakes over ten furlongs. Ridden by Oisin Murphy, he tracked the leaders, went to the front approaching the final furlong and stayed on strongly to win by half a length from Orderofthegarter. After the race Saeed bin Suroor said "today's trip was brilliant for him. He was in a nice position and kicked really well. He is a nice horse for the future. We will keep the options open. He could be anything". |
99_4 | Benbatl returned to the highest class and took on older horses for the first time in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot on 29 July. He never looked likely to win but "plugged on" in the straight to come home fifth behind Enable, Ulysses, Idaho and Highland Reel. On his final run of the year the colt failed to show his best form, finishing sixth when favourite for the Group 3 Superior Mile on heavy ground at Haydock Park in September.
2018: four-year-old season |
99_5 | Winter and spring: Dubai
For the winter and early spring of 2018 Benbatl was relocated to Godolphin's racing base in Dubai was campaigned at Meydan Racecourse, being ridden in all his races by Oisin Murphy. He began his campaign in the Group 3 Singspiel Stakes over 1800 metre on 11 January in which he started favourite and won "comfortably" by two and quarter lengths from Emotionless. In the Group 2 Al Rashidiya over the same course and distance on 1 February he won "easily" by almost four lengths from Bay of Poets having taken the lead 300 metres from the finish. The colt was expected to complete a hat-trick in the Group 1 Jebel Hatta on 10 March but in a slowly-run race he was unable to run down Godolphin's outsider Blair House and was beaten three quarters of a length into second place. |
99_6 | Three weeks after the Jebel Hatta Benbatl met Blair House again in the Dubai Turf, with Murphy's mount starting the 4/1 favourite. Among the other 13 runners were Coolmore's Lancaster Bomber, the Darley Stakes winner Monarch's Glen and a five-horse Japanese contingent including Vivlos (winner of the race in 2017), Real Steel (winner in 2016) and Neorealism (Queen Elizabeth II Cup). After tracking the front-runner Janoobi, Benbatl took the lead in the straight and drew away to win easily by more than three lengths from Vivlos. Murphy commented "Last time [in the Jebel Hatta] I gave the horse a bad ride and it was very good of Sheikh Mohammed and Saeed to give me another chance on him. I was determined to make amends and once in that position I was pretty sure I would win. It's very hard to find a world-class horse to ride, but he is a horse you dream about. He's very talented and today he had a good trip and showed his class. Today everything fell right." |
99_7 | Summer: Europe |
99_8 | On his first appearance after his return to Europe, Benbatl started 11/4 favourite against twelve opponents in the Group 1 Queen Anne Stakes over one mile at Royal Ascot in June. Ridden by Christophe Soumillon he was among the early leaders and briefly gained the advantage two furlongs out before fading badly and coming home in tenth place behind the 33/1 upset winner Accidental Agent. He was then moved back up in trip and sent to Germany for the Group 1 Bayerisches Zuchtrennen over 2000 metres at Munich on 29 July. The only other foreign challenger was the British-trained Stormy Antarctic, while the seven German runners were headed by Iquitos, the 2016 German Horse of the Year. With Murphy in the saddle, Benbatl took the lead soon after the start and drew away from his rivals in the straight to win by two and three quarter lengths from Stormy Antarctic. Saeed bin Suroor said "He made all and the pace suited him as he was still on the bridle with two furlongs to go. I'm very pleased |
99_9 | with him and we'll now look at our options", suggesting that the colt might be sent to Australia to take on the great mare Winx in the Cox Plate. |
99_10 | On his third and final European start of 2018, Benbatl was ridden by Jim Crowley when he was sent off at odds of 10/1 for the International Stakes over ten and a half furlongs at York Racecourse on 22 August. He briefly took the lead approaching the last quarter mile but was soon overtaken and came home fifth behind Roaring Lion, Poet's Word, Thundering Blue and Saxon Warrior. He was struck into during the race and sustained cuts to his legs. After the race he entered quarantine to prepare for his journey to Australia. |
99_11 | Autumn: Australia |
99_12 | Benbatl arrived in Australia on 29 September as part of a large Godolphin team which also included Blair House and Best Solution. On 13 October he made his Australian debut in the Group 1 Ladbrokes Stakes (better known as the Caulfield Stakes) over 2000 metres at Caulfield Racecourse and started at odds of 8/1 in an eleven-runner field which included his fellow imports Blair House and Cliffs of Moher. The Rosehill Guineas winner D'Argento started favourite while the other local runners included Humidor (Memsie Stakes, Australian Cup), Unforgotten (Australian Oaks) and Homesman (Underwood Stakes). After breaking quickly from the starting stalls, Benbatl was settled in second place by his new jockey Pat Cosgrave as Homesman set the pace. He took the lead approaching the last 200 metres and got the better of a sustained struggle with his old rival Blair House to win by a short head. When asked about the colt's prospects against Winx in the Cox Plate Cosgrave said "I think he is going to |
99_13 | be on his A-game to win that is for sure. She's a great mare. I don't know if I want to ride him. If I did happen to beat her I would have to scurry out of the country fairly quick". On 27 October Benbatl started second favourite for the Cox Plate at Moonee Valley Racecourse After settling in third behind Rostropovich and D'Argento he moved up on the outside to dispute the lead on the final turn. He was soon overtaken by Winx, but kept on well for second, two lengths behind the winner. His rider Oisin Murphy said "Winx was completely dominant. I gave it my best shot and so did Benbatl... I thought I’d give her a race and in fairness to him, he didn’t stop. He hit the line but she was just too good. Full credit to everyone". |
99_14 | In the 2018 World's Best Racehorse Rankings Benbatl was given a rating of 123, making him the fourteenth best horse in the world. |
99_15 | 2019: five-year-old season
Benbatl was given a long break in 2019 and did not return to the track until 27 September when he contested the Group 2 Joel Stakes over one mile at Newmarket and started 4/1 second favourite behind the three-year-old King of Comedy. He was sent into the lead by Murphy from the start and drew away in the final furlong to beat King of Comedy by five lengths. Saeed bin Suroor indicated that the horse would be aimed at the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes while Murphy commented "I haven't slept much this week with excitement. There was no pressure on today as it was a prep run, but he hasn't had a slap and he was electric. It's a fantastic feeling. He is the best around". On his only other race of the year he started favourite for the Champion Stakes at Ascot in October but appeared to be unsuited by the heavy ground and finished last of the sixteen runners. |
99_16 | In the 2019 World's Best Racehorse Rankings Benbatl was given a rating of 125, making him the ninth best racehorse in the world. |
99_17 | 2020: six-year-old season
As in 2018 Benbatl began his next campaign in Dubai where he was ridden by Soumillon in two races at Meydan. On 9 January he went off the 1/8 favourite for the Singspiel Stakes (now a Group 2 race) and led from the start before drawing away in the last 200 metres and winning "easily" by almost five lengths. Soumillon commented "He really dominated the race... today was like a morning gallop on his own." Four weeks later the horse made his debut on dirt in the 1900 metre Al Maktoum Challenge, Round 2 and started the joint-favourite alongside Gronkowski. After settling just behind the leaders Benbatl went to the front 500 metres from the finish and recorded another easy win, coming home two lengths clear of Military Law. After the race Soumillon said "He seemed happy on the surface and then really quickened when I asked. We knew he was a very good horse and now we know he can handle the dirt so it gives the owners and trainer a lot of exciting options." |
99_18 | Benbatl ran for the second time on dirt when he contested the inaugural $20 million Saudi Cup on February 29 over a distance of 1800 metres at King Abdulaziz Racetrack in Riyadh. With Murphy in the saddle he raced in mid-division before staying on in the straight and took third place behind Maximum Security and Midnight Bisou with Mucho Gusto, Tacitus and McKinzie finishing behind. He was expected to reappear in the Dubai World Cup in March, but the meeting was abandoned as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
After an absence of almost seven months Benbatl returned to the track at Newmarket in September and attempted to repeat his 2019 success in the Joel Stakes. Although he started favourite, Murphy opted to ride the three-year-old Kameko, and Benbatl was partnered by Frankie Dettori. He led for most of the way before being overtaken in the closing stages and finishing third behind Kameko and Regal Reality. |
99_19 | In the 2020 World's Best Racehorse Rankings, Benbatl was rated on 118, making him the equal best racehorse in the world.
2021: seven-year-old season
Benbatl was kept out of training in the early part of the season due to injury. He returned to the racecourse on 28 August 2021 to contest the Celebration Mile at Goodwood. Ridden by Murphy, he went off at 9/4 favourite and was beaten a short head by 9/1 chance Lavender's Blue. The following month saw Benbatl secure victory in the Joel Stakes for the second time, again ridden by Murphy. His last appearance of the season was in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot where, ridden by Pat Cosgrave, he started at 33/1 finished ninth of ten runners.
In November 2021 it was announced that Benbatl had retired and would stand as a stallion at Big Red Farm in Japan.

100_0 | is a baseball park under construction in Kitahiroshima, Hokkaido. It will be the future home of the Nippon Professional Baseball's Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters and is scheduled to open in March, 2023.
It will have a retractable roof and a capacity of 35,000 people. The stadium will be designed and built by HKS Architects and the Obayashi Corporation. The area immediately surrounding the stadium will be developed into Hokkaido Ballpark F Village, containing commercial facilities and restaurants for Fighters fans.
History |
100_1 | Background |
100_2 | In early 2016, Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) team the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters began considering constructing a new stadium in or around Sapporo. Since first relocating to Sapporo from Tokyo in 2004, the Fighters have played their home games in Sapporo Dome, a multi-purpose stadium. Instead of being owned and operated by the team, the Dome is instead owned by the city of Sapporo and is operated and managed by Sapporo Dome Co., Ltd., a voluntary sector company funded by the city and its community. At the time, Sapporo Dome was charging the Fighters approximately ¥16 million per game to play at the facility in front of a capacity crowd. Annually, the team was spending around ¥1.3 billion to play there. Additionally, Nippon Ham does not make any money on concessions or advertising in the stadium during games. The high rental fees, loss of in-stadium sales revenue, and inflexibility of a multi-purpose facility all contributed to Nippon Ham's decision to explore building their own |
100_3 | stadium. The team was considering 15 to 20 sites in Hokkaido as candidates to build their new ballpark, including the campus of Hokkaido University in Kita-ku, Sapporo, the Makomanai district in Minami-ku, Sapporo, and the planned "Kitahiroshima Sports Park" site in Kitahiroshima, a Sapporo suburb. |
100_4 | In December 2016, NPB announced that it set up a task force in collaboration with Nippon Ham to further the new stadium project and have a firm plan in place by March 2018. The following day, the mayor of Kitahiroshima met team representatives to propose its sports park concept. It offered up 20 of the 36 hectares at its "Kitahiroshima Sports Park" site for a natural grass, retractable roof baseball stadium capable of seating 30,000 people. Additionally, the site would be home to an indoor practice field, training facilities, and commercial space. Initially, Sapporo appealed to the team to continue playing at Sapporo Dome, even offering to make the facility a baseball-only stadium. After Nippon Ham continued to pursue new construction and with Kitahiroshima quickly offering up a plan, however, the city quickly began looking for suitable sites for a new stadium to avoid the prospect of the team leaving. Four months later, Sapporo offered up two locations: 10 hectares at Hokkaido |
100_5 | University and 13 hectares Toyohira-ku; both sites, however, were quickly deemed unusable due to various circumstances. With negotiations with Kitahiroshima continuing, Sapporo offered a third site by the end of 2017—Makomanai Park. The city proposed redevelopeding 20 hectares of the park into a baseball campus that included restaurants and commercial facilities with the new stadium being built in place of the park's aging Makomanai Open Stadium after its proposed demolition. |
100_6 | As planned, a decision was made the following March with Kitahiroshima's Sports Park site being chosen as the home of the Fighters' new ballpark. Concerns regarding the conservation of Makomanai Park's natural environment and opposition from local residents played a part in the decision not to redevelop the area. Furthermore, Kitahiroshima's larger, 36-hectares location provided more space to construct the stadium and its planned surrounding facilities. The city also agreed pay for the cost of infrastructure development, lease the land to Nippon-Ham free of charge, and exempt the ballpark and other park facilities from property tax and city planning tax for 10 years.
Development and construction |
100_7 | The Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters and Major League Baseball's (MLB) Texas Rangers announced a partnership agreement in early 2018. At the time, the Rangers were constructing a new ballpark, Globe Life Field, and they advised the Fighters on their plans to build their new stadium in Hokkaido. Nippon Ham revealed the basic stadium design and further details later that year. The 35,000-seat ballpark was designed by architecture firm HKS, the architect of Globe Life Field, and features a retractable roof and natural grass. Owned and operated by Nippon Ham, its construction is estimated to cost ¥60 billion ($530 million). In January 2020, real estate company ES-Con Japan acquired the naming rights to the stadium, with the surrounding area known as Hokkaido Ballpark F Village. |
100_8 | The ground breaking ceremony for the stadium was held on April 13, 2020. With the stadium planned to be operational for the 2023 NPB season, the Fighters hoped to host opening day at their new facility. The team scheduled to hold the opening day game that year, the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles, agreed to transfer the game to Nippon-Ham after a year of negotiations.
Design and features
ES CON Field Hokkaido will feature Japan’s second retractable stadium roof after Fukuoka PayPay Dome and the first with natural grass. The retractable roof will allow for the ballpark to be completely enclosed during Hokkaido's cold, snowy winters. The large, transparent "glass wall" on the outfield-side of the stadium will help to support a grass field when the roof is closed. The roof's high peak is meant to be reminiscent of a traditional Hokkaido home. |
100_9 | In addition to being only the fifth grass field in NPB, it will also be only field other than Mazda Stadium to have an asymmetrical outfield wall. Sapporo Dome, which is also used as a soccer stadium, has approximately twice as much foul territory as other NPB stadiums. In comparison, ES CON Field's field of play will be will be 15% smaller than at Sapporo Dome. The distance from home plate to the backstop will be 15 meters. |
100_10 | A five-story building dubbed "Tower 11" for the number that both Yu Darvish and Shohei Ohtani wore during their tenures with the Fighters will stand beyond the left field seats. The facility includes seating, a bar, an onsen hot spring sauna, and a hotel, and is planned to be open year-round including on non-game days. While the Eagles' Rakuten Seimei Park Miyagi in Sendai features lodging accommodations onsite, ES-CON Field's hotel will be the first ballpark in Japan to have rooms that overlook the field, similar to the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Canada. It will have twelve rooms capable of accommodating a total of 54 people |
100_11 | The stadium would also feature 2 86x16 video displays on each stand on 1st and 3rd base.
On the main entrance at the 1st base side would be a plaza named Fighters Legend Square, a symbol of continuity of the past and future. It would have "Ebetsu Bricks" engraved of names of fans and legends of the Fighters like Sho Nakata, Trey Hillman, Shohei Othani, Yu Darvish, Haruki Nishikawa, Hideki Kuriyama, etc. Until December 20, 2021, fans could purchase the rights to have their name engraved on one of the Ebetsu Bricks to be placed in Fighters Legend Square. This is similar to other stadiums that did this in the past, like Petco Park, in which fans could purchase bricks which would be placed outside the concourse to commemorate them.
Outside the park, in F Village, there would be an farm area, which would be an agricultural area using state-of-the-art agricultural technologies from Kubota. Hokkaido University would be a technical exhibition partner. |
100_12 | ES-CON Japan, aside from getting the naming rights, would also build a luxury apartment named "Le Jade Hokkaido Ball Park", which would be 2 14-story high rise residences. Residents will also be given a free 10 year annual pass to the stadium.
ES CON Field will have one of the largest indoor and outdoor playgrounds which would be built by Bournelund, a company based out of Shibuya, Tokyo, that makes indoor playground equipment. The playground would be divided to different zones for preschoolers to upper grades of elementary so they can play safely and securely.
The ballpark would also have a flagship store which will have the largest footprint ever in its history. It would have a unique shopping experience that would touch on the history and content of the stadium, which can only be experienced at the store. |
100_13 | A miniature version of the ballpark would be built outside in F Village. It would be built because they hope that "a future Fighter" would born from the children that would play at the miniature park.
The stadium would also have a wide concourse with an uninterrupted view of the field.
The stadium would also have VIP rooms and lounge services that provide high quality-service for guests who want a higher quality experience like watching games and gourmet food. |
100_14 | Access
Currently, Kita-Hiroshima Station on Hokkaido Railway Company's Chitose Line is the closest train station to the stadium. In anticipation of the opening of ES CON Field in 2023, the west exit of the station is being expanded and a shuttle bus terminal is being added to provide access directly to the stadium from the station. With the walk from Kita-Hiroshima Station to the stadium being approximately 20 minutes, a tentative plan to build a new station closer to ballpark with bridge directly connecting the two was announced in 2019. The earliest it could open, however, would be 2027, five years after the anticipated opening of ES CON Field. The Fighters’ stadium is also expected to have parking for 3,000 to 4,000 vehicles, unusual for ballparks in Japan which generally rely solely on public transportation.

101_0 | Jean-Marc Prouveur (born 17 December 1956, Saint-Quentin, France) is a French artist and filmmaker. He attended L'Ecole de Beaux-Arts in Cambrai.
A seminal figure in the vanguard of London's Punk movement of the 1970's, Prouveur has always moved with the times. His work is owned by the Hungarian National Gallery, Budapest, The J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, The Victoria and Albert Museum, London and collections including those of Rodolf Nureyev and Robert Mapplethorpe. He is one of the most stylish allegorists of our time and his work constitutes an intense, lyrical, and sometimes dark meditation on modern life.
On arriving in London in 1976, he became involved in the circle of Derek Jarman, and subsequently, in the making of the 1977 film Jubilee. |
101_1 | For much of the 1980s Prouveur worked independently in the photographic medium, creating artworks characterized by the "outlaw sexuality" of the male nude, punctuated by religious iconography, showing in London, Paris, New York City, Amsterdam, Rome and many other cities worldwide. He acknowledges artistic precedents in F. Holland Day and Wilhelm von Gloeden, and to a shared artistic preoccupation with contemporaries Robert Mapplethorpe and Gilbert and George.
In 1991 the Terrence Higgins Trust commissioned Prouveur a series of printed flyers entitled 'Tales of Gay Sex' with information on HIV transmission, photo stories depicting scenarios between gay men and a helpline for the Terrence Higgins Trust.
In the early 1990s Prouveur moved into film, launching his Liquid London studio. His early short films, Dance Macabre and the Georges Bataille-inspired Solar Anus were elegies to AIDS; later in the decade he moved closer to pornography. |
101_2 | Back in 2004, it may have been a surprise to some when Legionnaires upset releases from bigger studios to walk away with the GAYVN Award for Best Foreign Release. But for fans who have been following Liquid London's rise since it started in 1992, the accolades were long overdue.
The studio is the passion of Jean-Marc Prouveur, a successful French photographer who turned his attention to film after his success with shooting male nudes hit big in shows across the globe. "He attended art school in France from 1973 to 1976, and then came to London where he met several artists, such as Derek Jarman, David Hockney and Rudolf Nureyev. Photographic exhibitions worldwide followed. He then moved on to experimental/underground films shown in festivals worldwide from 1993 to 1999." |
101_3 | Prouveur has a natural affection for the male body, and his undoubted photographic talents aided him in transforming that love to photography and video. Liquid London started making art house films then softcore releases, but when laws in the United Kingdom changed in 1999, the studio entered the hardcore realm. And with the release of Heat & Lust — Postcards to a Pornographer, Liquid London found a new North American attention.
Prouveur's work is influenced by a wide variety of film from classic mainstream cinema on an international scale. "Many films stand out, starting with Pink Narcissus, which he saw in 1975, together with Jean Genet's Un Chant d'Amour and most of Jean Cocteau's 'films, without forgetting the avant-garde in France from the '70s: Godard, Truffaut. Or the experimental films from the States with Warhol, Morrissey, Curt McDowell and Russ Meyer." |
101_4 | The Italian "new wave" from the 1960s - which included directors Bernardo Bertolucci and Federico Fellini - also had an influence, followed by the exciting new generation of filmmakers from Spain (like Pedro Almodovar) and Britain (Danny Boyle).
"So many films stand out for their sheer magic and their power to transport you into a world you could not have imagined. Guillermo del Toro is another filmmaker that stands out for Jean-Marc because of his astonishing magical tales. As for his own films, he is very proud of Gamins D' Auvergne, The Prisoner's Song, The Manor, Beast and both Legionnaires, without forgetting Polish Pleasures or Spanish Obsessions and his very first 'hardcore' movie, though he had already made over 30 erotic films prior to Lust & Betrayal. For the very same reason, he admires so-called mainstream films, with their abilities to mesmerize you and offer you a peep into someone else's universe. |
101_5 | Prouveur believes that adult films are no different from any other genre, and therefore ought to have a comprehensive storyline to carry the viewer along within its erotic universe. "The films in general are either based on real-life characters, such as in Gamins d'Auvergne - where Jean-Marc has sought inspiration from Wilhelm von Gloeden, the 19th-century gay photographer - or on fictitious stories such as Rascals or Lust & Betrayal."
Prouveur now divides his time between London and Auvergne, France. He continues to experiment in photography and film whilst researching an essay on the history of pornography and its place in art.

103_0 | Gladys is a female name from the Welsh name Gwladus or Gwladys, which bears the meaning of royalty (princess); conversely, it has been speculated to originally be from the Latin diminutive "gladiolus", meaning small sword hence the gladiolus flowering plant.
It may be used as a Welsh variant of Claudia, meaning lame.
