Where do you get these great pictures? Did you take them yourself?
The Tokyo Dome was opened in March of 1988. It was designed for baseball only, but shows much of the same thinking behind Skydome/Rogers Center and Tropicana Field. However, there are no movable seats, and football games are laid out home-to-center.When was this built? It looks like terrible sightlines for baseball. Is it a multipurpose stadium too to host American football games and what not?
According to the link below (about halfway down) this the largest baseball stadium in the Tokyo area, and the second largest in Nippon.Is Tokyo Dome the biggest baseball stadium in Tokyo?
Yep, that was the place. That is also where the "55,000" capacity figure comes from, as they just barely squeezed 55,000 fans into the stadium for the concerts, by using the field for seating.this one reminds me guns n' roses live in tokyo 1992 dvd
The Carrier Dome in Syracuse is still doing well.Seeing as all of the air-supported-roof stadiums are either now no longer standing (Hoosier Dome in Indianapolis, Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in Minneapolis) or had their roofs replaced (BC Place in Vancouver), should the Tokyo Dome get its roof replaced by a different roof (like a retractable one), or should it stick with its existing roof?
