History
In 1946, the Ritsumeikan University began constructing a stadium in the Kinugasa Campus in the Kita-ku ward in northern Kyoto. The stadium was inaugurated in 1948 as the Ritsumeikan Kinugasa Baseball Stadium to be used by the Ritsumeikan University baseball team. The Kinugasa Stadium opened in September 1948 and had its first game with a match between the Ritsumeikan University and the Doshisha University baseball teams.{{cite web|url=https://www.ritsumei.ac.jp/archives/column/article.html/?id=43|title=＜学園史資料から＞衣笠球場ものがたり|date=9 April 2014|website=ritsumei.ac.jp|publisher=Ritsumeikan University|access-date=8 June 2024|language=ja}}{{cite web|url=https://www.ritsumei.ac.jp/archives/column/article.html/?id=132|title=＜懐かしの立命館＞立命館衣笠球場のホームベースはここだ！|date=1 June 2017|website=ritsumei.ac.jp|publisher=Ritsumeikan University|access-date=8 June 2024|language=ja}}
