Yokohama Stadium (横浜スタジアム yokohama sutajiamu?) is a stadium in Naka Ward, Yokohama, Japan. It is primarily used for baseball, and is the home field of the Yokohama BayStars. It opened in 1978 and holds 30,000 people. Yokohama stadium is unique because it features dirt base surrounds and pitcher's mound, but with dirt colored turf infield and base paths. The entire green portion of the field is now turf. Yokohama Stadium is one of only two venues in Japan with an American look (the other is Skymark Stadium in Kobe).
