With this many football (soccer) stadiums, Japan, probably, is the country with the most number of football stadiums in Asia or even the world!

:banana: :bow: :cheers: :cheers2: :cheers: :bow: :banana:

Yes, I think one day Japan will dominate world football. Some people say baseball is the biggest sport in Japan?? If I see this, it looks like bull****.

OMG! These pictures seriously put sporting infrastructure in Japan into perspective.

First observation: Perhaps no other country has more stadiums with retractable roofs than Japan (well except, perhaps, the United States).

Second observation: All of these stadiums and sports domes are looking good. I'm guessing that a large chunk of budget is allocated for maintenance purposes.

Third observation: Based on those pics, all stadiums have its own character. I don't mean the mascots but, rather, the architectural designs.

Some great stadiums there, especially like the one in Niigata (i think, all the lovely photos on this page is seriously slowing down this laptop and I don't fancy checking back!), madly steep but also looks really atmospheric :okay: .
Some not so good grounds there as well, and a few too many running tracks inside some otherwise great bits of engineering - I just despise the things, leaves half the ground with a view that doesn't have to be as bad as it is (only time I have actually gone to a ground with one, there was one goal (by David Beckham no less), at the far end, and no-one near me had a clue it had gone in till the players started celebrating).

Out of interest, who pays to build most of these stadia, I'm guessing it will be local authorities rather than the teams themselves?

Oh, and one off-topic point, its always puzzled me why there are only 12 pro baseball teams in all of Japan, for a country with the population of Japan and it being the #1 sport, surely there would be scope for more teams than that? Would love it if someone could enlighten me on this one!

wow great domes

that's right.

12 is good enough.
Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) has been declining in popularity so much. Baseball is still #1 sports in Japan IMO, but people are watching MLB on TV instead of NPB these days. Most of Tokyoites have no interest in the Tokyo Yomiuri Giants in today's environment.

Waaah, so many sport stadiums.

Does Japan really have this much money to construct hundreds of these things?!?!?!?!? Heck, I can't even imagine the cost of building just one stadium (millions of $$$ involved).

coldstar, u have any ideas as to how much Japan has spent for these sport stadiums (that are gargantuan in number)?

Has anyone got a picture of Vissel Kobe stadium?

http://www.stadiumzone.net is a good new site by the way, with all J-League stadiums included.

I really love the pics in this thread.

me too very impressive and well yeah they have their own archtiectical and character to it even the mascots look like they are unique

of course every team must have a mascot, i say football would be more domanit then baseball is what i am saying i am a colombian viva colombia gol!!!!

i am in kind of odds did the japanese named a stadium named Naruto stadium isn't naruto a shonen jump comic and animation and the protangiest???

or is there more to the name naruto? sorry to change subjects

maybe for the naruto staidum they should have the naruto character as a mascot there? it would make perfect sense i think i maybe wrong?

please correct me on this

Great stadiums, i guess Korea-Japan 02 is part of the reason why Japan has this modern stadiums all over.

Hey, that site, http://www.stadiumzone.net , has got some great new pics of J-League stadiums. This time there are more and bigger pics I see.

thanks for the site....

I really like the Sapporo stadium

:lol:

http://www.stadiumzone.net

has become a pretty good site. Although it used to be a crappy site, now it shows almost all stadiums in the world

Japanese stadiums rule! And J-League is one of the best football leagues in the World, perhaps of the entire Universe, it´s so cool! I wish I could watch it more.

I also like the fact the Japanese are so thankful for brazilians helping them make football popular in Japan, so that some teams are a real homage to brazilian football, like for example Cerezo Osaka - my fav. Japanese team.

And you Japanese, do you follow our brazilian leagues? I hope yes, we need your support to help Corinthians return the Serie A in 2008!

:okay: :cheers:

Japan's association football stadiums, baseball stadiums, and sports arenas sure have some excellence in design.

how popular is football"soccer" in japan?
