At the opening game of the spring league, where the baseball team was playing, about 250 student supporters, including Rugby Football Club, dyed the stands red.

On Saturday, April 5, 2025, the opening game of the Metropolitan University Baseball Spring League against Tokai University was held at Giants Town Stadium (Inagi City, Tokyo). Approximately 250 supporters, including Rugby Football Club, Cheerleading Club, brass band, women's basketball team, and students from the Teikyo Sports Supporters Association, gathered in the stands and gave thunderous cheers to the Teikyo University baseball team.
Students from the baseball club also attend Rugby Football Club, Cheerleading Club, and girls' basketball games, and attend the brass band's regular concert every year, and can be seen supporting each other - a unique interaction between students.

Captain Rui Miyagi (4th year, Faculty of Medical Technology) said, "For the opening game of the spring league, we had a lot of people come to support us, including the Cheerleading Club, brass band, Rugby Football Club, women's basketball club, and Teikyo Sports Supporters Association. Looking from the field, the stands were the brightest red they've ever been, and I felt happy to be able to play baseball in front of such a large cheering squad, and I was encouraged by all the cheers. The league games will continue from now on, so I hope you will continue to support the baseball team." He spoke passionately, expressing his gratitude for the encouraging support and his enthusiasm for the future.

Keigo Ikeda (4th year, Faculty of Medical Technology), who has been in charge of leading the current cheering in the stands since his second year, expressed his gratitude, saying, "Many people came to the opening game of the spring league. We received the best support, with the third base stand dyed bright red, which could be seen from the field, and the thunderous cheers that continued to ring out throughout the game. I'm sure there was some tension as it was the opening game, but the players were encouraged by the warm cheers from everyone. Although the sports are different, I feel that by supporting and cheering on each other's club activities, Teikyo University sports are able to aim for even greater heights. We got off to a tough start in the first week, but we will turn the cheers we received from everyone into strength and aim to be number one in Japan. Thank you so much for the great support at the opening game."

Although the team fought well in both the opening and second games, they lost narrowly, but the next game will be against Nippon Sport Science University at Batting Palace Aiishi Stadium Hiratsuka (Hiratsuka City, Kanagawa Prefecture) on Saturday, April 12th and Sunday, April 13th. Please support our baseball team as they take on the league matches that will continue for about a month and a half.
