Ishikawa Athletics Stadium

What changes the place is the light. The track runs around the grass, a red ribbon that seems to separate the game from the rest of the world.

It is not a grand structure, but it has a presence.

Zweigen Kanazawa played here for years, until they moved to the new ground in the city. The old stadium was not just for football; it hosted athletics too, though the track is less prominent now. The lighting was added so games could be played after the sun went down, bringing a different quality to the evenings.

It is a working building, a place for sport.
