Chiba Marine Stadium (千葉マリンスタジアム Chiba Marin Sutajiamu?) is a stadium in Chiba City, Japan. It is primarily used for baseball, and is the home field of the Chiba Lotte Marines. It opened in 1990 and holds 30,000 people.
According to some sources, the Chiba Marine Stadium was the "Stadium" fighting level in Tekken from 1994/1995.
Madonna opened her controversial but critically-acclaimed 'Blond Ambition World Tour' at the stadium on April 13th, 1990. The show marked the first of nine in Japan during the tour and highlighted the official opening of the Marina stadium. Unfortunately for Madonna, the dates coincided with Japan's rainy season, and the show was dramatically scaled-back to accomodate driving rain and high winds. Some clips and dialogue of the opening night performances - including of the stage being swept of rainwater by Madonna's road crew, and her performing in a jacket and ski-pants instead of the intended costumes - can be seen in the 1991 tour documentary, "Truth or Dare".
