[edit] Attendance record

The article notes: "The Tokyo Dome is the largest concert facility in Japan. A number of famous concerts have been held here, including tour stops by The Rolling Stones, Guns N' Roses and Mariah Carey, which broke attendance records." So who exactly broke the record, Mariah Carey? Is that an attendance record for Dome concerts only, or for all Dome events? Patiwat 00:01, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Actually, according to the 2007 Aerosmith calendar, which contains historical factoids about the band at the bottom of each month, Aerosmith broke the attendance records for the Tokyo Dome on their Nine Lives Tour on March 9, 1998, which means that they broke Mariah's record which occurred in 1996. Additionally, since concerts make use of the floors of stadiums (unlike sporting events), it seems to me that concerts would be the highest-capacitated of events. Abog 06:47, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Maximum capacity

The article originally stated that the Tokyo Dome has a maximum capacity of 55,000. However, larger attendances have been recorded on multiple occasions, ranging from 62,500 to even 65,000. Here is a website which states that the Dome's capacity os of 70,000 people: [1]

Also, this article lists the claimed attendances of all the January 4th Dome shows that New Japan runs: [2]

(Note to any puro guys: Let's not start the "62,500 on paper means 40,000 in real life" argument, or it'll never end...)
