Seibu Dome, Domed stadium in Japan
Seibu Dome, now also known as Belluna Dome, is a covered stadium in Kami-Yamaguchi with seating for thousands of spectators. The facility hosts baseball games, concerts, and other large-scale events throughout the year.
The stadium opened in 1979 and was a pioneering example of air-supported roof technology in large sporting venues. Its construction techniques influenced the design of many covered sports facilities built afterward in Japan.
The dome serves as home to the Saitama Seibu Lions, one of Japan's major professional baseball teams. Local supporters gather here throughout the season to watch their team play.
The stadium is located in the Kami-Yamaguchi region and can be reached easily by public transportation. It is wise to arrive early for large events to allow time for parking and security checkpoints.
The stadium uses an air-supported roof structure where the entire ceiling is held up by constant air circulation. This technology was revolutionary at the time of its opening and remains uncommon among similar structures worldwide.
