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.
Summer Sonic Festival is held in the stadium every summer. Famous musicians such as Guns N' Roses, Metallica, Oasis, Green Day, Avril Lavigne, Radiohead and Beastie Boys have done concerts.
The official opening of the stadium was held on April 13, 1990, when popstar Madonna opened her Blond Ambition World Tour at the venue. Unfortunately for Madonna, the dates coincided with Japan's rainy season, and the show was dramatically scaled-back to accommodate driving rain and high winds.
According to some sources, the Chiba Marine Stadium was the "Stadium" fighting level in Tekken from 1994/1995.
