Abstract
Recently, professional baseball watching is expected to be the industry attracting many customers to the city. In this study, the spectator's features and the economic effects are analyzed by questionnaire survey for the spectators of Fukuoka Softbank Hawks(baseball team). The following things became clear by this research. 1) The consumption of the person who came alone or from a distant place is expensive. 2) Before and after watching the game, the spectators drop in the places except Fukuoka Dome (baseball stadium), and Fukuoka Dome is contributing to the bustle of a city. 3) Big demand is produced also to the industries which aren't directly related to the professional baseball watching. 4) Attracting customers is greatly influenced by the traffic cost.
