Did You Know?

  • Tokyo Dome was the first fully air-pressurized domed stadium in Asia; the roof is kept inflated by slightly higher air pressure inside than outside.

  • The Yomiuri Giants are Japan's most successful and most-watched franchise, often called 'the Yankees of Japanese baseball.'

  • The stadium also hosts concerts, boxing, and pro wrestling — New Japan Pro-Wrestling's Wrestle Kingdom events regularly sell out all 45,000 seats.
