The Sapporo Dome is a stadium in Sapporo, Japan. It is primarily used for baseball and football (soccer), and is the home field of the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters in baseball and Consadole Sapporo in football.
Sapporo Dome opened in 2001 and holds 42,122 people. This stadium hosted some games during the 2002 FIFA World Cup.
The Dome's most unusual feature is that it has two entirely different playing surfaces. Baseball games are played on an artificial turf field, while football games are held on a grass pitch that slides into and out of the stadium as needed. Some other stadiums that feature sliding pitches are the Gelredome in the Netherlands, Veltins-Arena in Germany and University of Phoenix Stadium in the United States; however, unlike these three facilities, the Sapporo Dome has a fixed roof.
