Fukuoka Dome
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fukuoka Dome (福岡ドーム Fukuoka Dōmu?) is a baseball field located in Fukuoka, Japan. The stadium serves as the headquarters of the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks. In 2005, Yahoo! Japan, one of SoftBank's subsidiaries, bought the stadium's naming rights, and thus renamed it "Fukuoka Yahoo! Japan Dome".
Built in 1993, the stadium seats 48,000 and has a retractable roof.
Famous musicians such as Madonna, Rolling Stones, Eagles, and Billy Joel have done large-scale concerts at the Fukuoka Dome.
