- The NPB (Nippon Professional Baseball League) has some amazing stadiums, and today, you are going to see every one of them. We hope you enjoy them!
Special thanks to @totoro_hero on twitter for helping me, along with Jamison, who did research on the project.

I would very much like it if you subscribed for my somewhat funny sports videos.
When talking about the Hiroshima stadium, you left out one cool detail: the external left field wall was made low so that passengers on bullet trains, which run right behind the stadium (the main station is a 10-minute walk from the stadium), can catch a glimpse of games in progress.
Andrew Gonzalez and it shares its parking lot with a Costco.
I hear that place is the bomb
@@PrinceRoyceFan667 I’ve been to a game there. It was nice! But to me, it felt more like a really nice AAA park than a major league stadium. (I’ve also been to games at Tokyo Dome, Nagoya Dome, and the Fukuoka stadium, which all feel more major-league.)
@@PrinceRoyceFan667 dude, really?
@@PrinceRoyceFan667 yeah I visited in 1945 it really blew me away. I got a wicked sunburn though
The Japanese baseball atmosphere is also incredible! The songs, chants, noise makers it’s incredible:
Having seen a game at Tokyo Dome against the Tigers, I've never witnessed anything like it!
These ballparks are as beautiful as Ichiro's swing.

Some more facts:
Kobe Stadium - This was the park where Ichiro played home games during his NPB careers. Built in 1988 was considered the first ever "MLB" style ballpark used in NPB, because of the double tiered stands and natural grass.
Miyagi Stadium - Was a minor league level park prior to 2004. Rakuten formed a new franchise and joint the league in 2004 chose this stadium as home filed, then gradually expand the stadium to the big league scale.
Marine Stadium - No regular smoking is allowed within the stadium premises. Only e-cigarettes is allowed in the smoking areas.
Osaka Dome - The parking lot is actually inside the stadium rather than outside. It uses automated mechanical parking system to park the cars in multi-level storage.
Hiroshima Stadium - There is a rail track behind the left field stand. So fans from infield stands can see the bullet trains pass by.
Yokohama Stadium - Extra tiers were added behind each foul post to raise the overall capacity to 35000.
MetLife Dome - Roof was added in 1998 and 1999 was the first year for the games to be played under the roof. Which was also was the first pro season of Dice-K. The transfer fee of Dice-K paid by Red Sox actually funded the building cost of extra luxury suits and toilet improvement in 2007.
Tokyo Dome - As the dome is located in a very convenient place, many events were hosted there outside the baseball schedule. The dome is so busy that at least 340 days of a year is rented.
Koshien Stadium - The external wall was ivy clad before renovation and scrapped for building works. The ivy was replanted after renovation completed and after 10 year still not fully covered the wall. Maybe few more years needed to restore to its former glory. Also the only home field in NPB still uses all dirt infield.
Sapporo Dome - Fighters are leaving the stadium as they consider the City Council was asking extortion level of rent for new tendency contract. They now confirmed to build a 35000 capacity self-funded stadium with retractable roof, scheduled to open in 2023 season.
Meiji Jingu Stadium - The redevelopment of the new baseball stadium will be on the land of the current rugby stadium close by. When the new baseball stadium is completed, the old baseball stadium will be demolished to build a new rugby stadium.
Fukuoka Pay Pay Dome - Build in 1993 with the cost of JPY 76 billion, more expensive than Rogers Centre which cost CAD 570 million.
Nagoya Dome - The only stadium in NPB I was unable to find anything interesting worth mentioning.
Nagoya - The only big city in Japan I was unable to find anything interesting worth mentioning.
Tokyo Dome, where Buster Douglas defeated Mike Tyson in 1990.
Paul B we also can’t forget that every January 4th, Tokyo Dome hosts New Japan Pro Wrestling’s biggest show, Wrestle Kingdom!
@@sasori390 well, it's the birthplace of Toyota (the HQ is located 35 min. from Nagoya) and considered as the Detroit of Japan.
So yeah, it's as boring as Detroit.
Still asking. Where’s the manscaped ad?
i got one as a youtube ad
Me: Can you do the Premier Leauge stadiums , it's a huge league
FPV: Haha Japanese baseball stadiums goes subtitles
honestly we need all 5 big soccer leagues and the efl championship
Nice 69 likes
You have to be specific to this year due to stadiums coming and going every year due to relegation/promotion
@@Lewis.Alcindor Ik but no relegation this year
@@squidsseeghosts4533
It would be actually cool to see all the stadiums from the past decade or so.
I’m Japanese and absolutely loved this video. The highlights you picked for each stadiums were on point.
I remember being disappointed when I found out the Nippon-Ham Fighters were actually the Fighters owned by Nippon Ham, and not the Ham Fighters, with some kind of crazy angry pig mascot.
× pig mascot
○ bear mascot
We must destroy ham
God I'm tired of that misconception. Hopefully another company in Japan buys that team and they become the Honda Fighters or Sony Fighters or what ever. Are people still gonna be dumb and think "uhhh, the Mitsubishi Fighters? Do they fight cars?"
@@TheMrPeteChannel That one might inspire connotations of the A6M Zero.
did you see the team president explain that to Olberman a decade or so ago..... it was HILARIOUS... ! in stilted English explained " We are the Nippon Ham Fighters . Meaning team sponsor is Nippon Ham . We are not Ham fighters . We do not fight the Ham "...... 🤣
FivePoints is the best anime, I have spoken. I like Yokohama's the most
I hear every game played in the Tokyo Dome is a 7 star game
Locdar I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE 😂😉
Locdar it doesn’t know there but ik a guy in the the dome that makes it rain
Ricky Balor too bad it was destino that he would lose his title.. LOL!
Too bad said tranquilo guy got to sleep while doing a roll call. Hahaha
Uncle Dave? Is that you?
Been to a game in Hiroshima a few times when I was stationed in japan. Absolutely electric atmosphere. Japanese baseball games are incredible for fans.
Great vid! One update, Yokohama Stadium expanded by adding two wings on the left and right field, adding 6,000 seats.
I've been to three of these Stadiums (Mazda, Hanshin, and the Tokyo Dome) and loved all three, although going into Koishien as a visiting fan (I'm a Carp fan if you're wondering) felt like how I'd imagine being a visiting fan at Fenway would feel (I don't know that feeling because I'm also a BoSox fan)
I've been to Koshien, Tokyo Dome, and Meiji Jingu (I'm the writer!). I got to see Ichiro's last game, and the place went bananas when Ichiro came to the plate. I dunno if the roof would still be there if he got the winning hit.
I like the carp too ❤
Thanks🥰
Go Carp!! Too bad the seats are impossible to get (even before COVID)
Just do the Hungarian tier two soccer stadiums already!!!
Saw a game at the Met Life Dome when I was stationed there (it’s only 15 minutes away from Yokota Air Base). Crowd was amazing, cheering a 2 run single like they won a playoff game! Very knowledgeable of MLB ( they loved my retro George Brett jersey). One of the highlights of my tour!
Note: there was NO airflow, so it was very hot and muggy that day.
I was lucky enough have visited there in September night, much more pleasant.
That homerun at 6:00 is like hitting a walk off grand slam in G7 down 3 with 2 out and 2 strikes. Clutch
As a Japanese, thank you for making this video
some points of clarification, the Jingu stadium will still be used for the next couple of years. They are going to build a new stadium right next to it sooner or later. The Jingu Second stadium closed last summer as it will be used for Olympic purposes. That stadium also works as a golf range when games aren't being played which is 90% of the whole year
wow that's crazy !
At some point, you should do a critique of North Harbour Stadium, home of the Auckland Tuatara, New Zealand's only professional baseball club.
What's so unique about North Harbour Stadium is that it was made for Rugby. The had to demolish most of the northern stands so they can make room for the baseball field.
how do they play Pro Baseball with only one Pro team in country...? WTF.. ?
Great video! I used to live in Japan actually, and I've been to what is now called the Pay Pay Dome in Fukuoka many times. I've also been to the stadium in Hiroshima once, and I've been to Hanshin Koshien Stadium once. It is indeed a beautiful ballpark.
Was wondering if there was a Japanese stadiums video on this channel given the presence of baseball and soccer/football, glad to have found it.
I took an interest for the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters last season my new phone randomly started giving me updates and scores for the Fighters, so I went with it
I got to go to games at Koshien, Met-life and Kyocera while studying abroad and they're all super cool, food is crazy and the atmosphere is great.
Now, Yokohama Stadium's seating capacity is 34,046
I did not expect that little Pokemon TCG fact in a baseball stadium critique video, and I really appreciated that one. Thank you FivePoints! Keep doing what you do man!
Just an FYI. Yokohama finished renovations last season. There is additional seating along the uppet left field side. Also the Fighters will be moving from the Sapporo Dome into a new stadium I believe in 2022(?). So check out their awesome current home soon if you want to see an NPB game there.
Some things (as a person who has attended at least one game in each stadium, and about 250 in Japan):
Yokohama Stadium doesn't have a net over the back wall. You have to blast one at least 450 to get it over the back wall. They have also added 2 huge sections on each side and a new press box, as that is the baseball venue for the 2020 Olympics.
Seibu Dome was originally outdoor, then they added the roof in 1998-99. It is torture in the summer. The tiny slits of outdoor air don't amount to anything when it’s 95 and humid and you’re surrounded by 30,000 people. It's like a greenhouse.
The overhangs in Hiroshima stadium are for the designated cheering sections of each team. It's actually the only stadium dimensions not 100% symmetrical because of the high speed rail in left field, and they do have a net there. Also, the previous stadium wasn't a dome, it was located next to the atomic bomb small domed structure (kept as is since 1945).
Sendai's stadium was originally like a small minor league park that they have slowly built up over 15 years the Eagles have played there, adding more stands and the ferris wheel. This is where Masahiro Tanaka played before coming to MLB.
Most team's minor league team are close by or a suburb of where the team plays. I've actually seen minor Leaguers walking between the two stadiums while lining up to enter a game at Jingu. Also, everyone in Japan has an umbrella anyway because it's generally too crowded for everyone to have a car and it rains like crazy in June and July. It's originally done when the Swallows score a run to "send the pitcher to the showers."
The Fukuoka dome (my home stadium) is retractable, and they used to open it all the time until they got the electric bill. Also, when open the sun shines in the batter's eyes, so they only open it for a game about 3 times a year (sponsored by someone) and those are at night. They crack it open after every victory, then close it once the firework smoke escapes.
Koshien has ivy on the outside, this drawing more comparisons to Wrigley Field. The Tigers also have a curse associated with tossing a statue of Colonel Sanders in the river in 1985.
Nagoya and Sapporo Dome are probably larger than most MLB stadiums, 328 down the line, 400 to center, and 388 to the gaps, and they both have about a 17 foot wall.
Pronunciations: Lotte is "loat-tay," Makuhari Messe is "Mess-say," KinTetsu, Jingu is "jean-goo." Nagoya is "Nah-go-yah." Hey, at least you didn't say "Ham Fighters" which is about as fresh and original as calling the player "Poo-Holes."
Here's a fun fact : did you know that The MetLife Dome is also known as The Concert for the Idols because LoveLive Sunshine perform there 4 times ?
Every time the Giants win a Japan Series it gets a 5-star rating from Dave Meltzer.
Found another wrestling fan... well played
More trivia for Chiba Marine Stadium: The 2005 Japan series was whole beat down as mentiond in video, then it become a internet meme called 33-4. Lotte play against Hanshin for 4 games and Lotte score 33 points when Hansihin only score 4. The funny point is Hanshin fans who was on TV beleves they still gonna win the series even in game 3.
This is one of your best videos you've put out. I would love to see a vid about stadiums in other leagues, like those in Mexico and South Korea.
**Some correctionsss and extra fun facts**
Yokohama Stadium
- Yokohama´s YCMA branch is near the stadium, sometimes in the TV broadcast you can see YMCA signage behind the outfield, also, if happens, Yokohama Stadium will host 2021 Olympic Baseball
Zozo Marine Stadium -
it hosted Red Bull Air Race once and also was home to 100k HR of NPB history
;Rakuten Seimei Park Miyagi
- Cashless started last year nor this year, also the stadium hosts a playground for kids (they can see the game from playground too), Hotels to spend the game weekend and even a FM Radio that broadcast Golden Eagles home games
Mazda Stadium
- Municipal Stadium was not a Dome, it was open stadium, also the stadium have a GYM on it that you can visit on non-game days and if you visit on game days you can watch the game clearly from that (there is TVs to watch the broadcast too), alsso another fun fact is that there is a COSTCO WHOLESALE behind the stadium, it happens to be on right mid-field and you can see the branch right behind stadium on TV Broadcasts, also in this same stadium, National´s Soto missed a fly ball giving up a inside-the-park HR to a NPB player, this happened around 12 months before he became a baseball legend on World Series
MetLife Dome
- The dome used to be open stadium before a reform that happened before the 2009 reform, it changed the stadium from a open one into a dome one, also Kimba the lion used to be the official home team (Seibu Lions) mascot until 2009 when a look-a-like mascot took its place
Hotto Motto Park /Kyocera Dome: it is not the Hotto that hosts Hanshin games, but the Kyocera dome that hosts games because the Tigers need to give away the stadium for the high school tournaments
Meiji Jingu Stadium
: the stadium will host matches until 2023/2024, not this year, that is because a new stadium will be bulit on its place, the secondary stadium, will be demolished so it can be bulit a new Rugby stadium on its place, the old rugby stadium will be demolished so the new Baseball stadium that will substitute Jingu can take its place (yea confusing)
Pay Pay Dome: Sadaharu Oh
(the one that have the museum on stadium) actually is actual Hawks GM
Nagoya Dome: The stadium that was replaced by the Nagoya Dome still exists and it is actual home for the Dragons farm/minor league team
Tokyo Dome: kinda obivus but it was the first domed stadium in Japan, also it already hosted a NCAA Bowl Game between 1977 until 1993
, and still hosts the final of Pro Football, the X-Bowl, also it hostss the showdown between X-Bown winner and the college football winner, the Rice Bowl (Supported by US Embassy in Japan)
Hanshin Koshien Stadium
- the dirt on the stadium is considered sacred (no im not kidding) and the high schoolers, when they play there, have a chance to get a bit of this dirt and take it home as proof that they played there
Sapporo Dome
- is the only stadium that hosted Japan Series and THE WORLD CUP, THE RUGBY WORLD CUP,, THE OLYMPIC SOCCER AND EVEN A WORLD RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP SUPERSTAGE, also is planned to host the opening of 2030 Winter Olympic Games
superninja252 and Tokyo Dome is also home to NJPW’s (New Japan Pro Wrestling) big show, Wrestle Kingdom
also about Tokyo Dome, it's also the least fan friendly stadium due to the draconian "fan conduct" rules set by Yomiuri.
@@supersasukemaniac yea giants kinda suck but i wont make banter on NPB teams here, i have other places for it
6:46 it is actually used as golf training center
Fun fact about Mazda Zoom Zoom Stadium: You can see down the third base line from the street level behind left field. Joined a bunch of fans for an inning or two after I couldn’t get tickets because the game was sold out.
five points Vids if your on this theme of International Stadiums you should do the CFL
TD Place in Ottawa is the only reason Ottawa still has a team. It's a fantastic venue.
I agree, lots of modern stadiums there. I'm glad they came to the same conclusion that MLS did and went smaller.
3Dsjk Is where the Argonauts currently play temporary or permanent? I know they moved out of Rogers Centre a couple of years ago. The one in Winnipeg is incredibly beautiful. The roof in Vancouver for the B.C. Lions is unique and awesome. They did some great work replacing the old roof. The ones in Calgary and Saskatchewan look a bit dated in comparison to the newer ones in Ottawa, Hamilton, and Winnipeg. Edmonton is clean and classic. Commonwealth is nice, but could use an update. Montreal, although the views are spectacular, could stand to move out of McGill, and go to a more state-of-the-art stadium.
Brian OSullivan AFIK BMO Field is the permanent home of the Argos, unless the games start affecting the bottom line for Toronto FC of MLS. The same company owns both teams, and manages the stadium, so there I don’t know where any pressure for a new football stadium would come from.
You might be the looking at the old stadium in Saskatchewan, as the new Mosaic Field is very nice. The only ‘old’ stadiums currently are Calgary and Edmonton.
Montreal is another case where I don’t know where the pressure to move would come from. Moving to the smaller stadium actually saved the franchise as Olympic Stadium was too expensive to use, and there was a ton of money spent on it in the past decade or so. I don’t know if the city or province will want to help with a new stadium when they are trying to lure a baseball team back to Montreal.
One TIP: The Yokohama Stadium is where the Olympic Baseball Game Finals are gonna be held and is really close from where I live ;)
Watching this years later and the Fighters have a new stadium.
This Corona Virus is impacting overseas baseball in a positive way. With MLB blackout, our addiction turns elsewhere...Japan, Korea, Taiwan. These leagues are getting attention and we are discovering a very high level of play and professionalism. This is GREAT for our sport. Baseball - America's Past Time...The World's Greatest Sport
For further notice, Jingu stadium is going to take down but will construct an another stadium right next to the old stadium. The Chichibunomiya football field will be take down and construct the new Jingu stadium. The original Jingu and 2nd baseball field will be reconstruct as the new Chichibunomiya football field.
Japanese commentary is lit. It sounds like minor things will make the announcer go Super Saiyan. Also just imagine if the MLB also made teams that went below .300 wins for the season merge.
You gotta do one with the Korean baseball league.
The KBO has 10 teams so it would be short.
@@adriansookai I saw you on the IDGT Live Stream last night
@@adriansookai 10 teams and 2 share a stadium.
Even when baseball comes back espn need to sign a deal with the Kbo and Npb
@@shawnstuchell8890 ESPN said during the Dinos vs Lions game that if it's popular, they will go all the way to Korea Series.
Tokyo Dome is also host to New Japan Pro-Wrestling's annual January 4th wrestling event "Wrestle Kingdom"
He's gonna do Olympic Stadiums for his next video.....Summer first, then Winter
ahhhh more 5 points stadium videos
Congrats to the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks with their 11th Japan Series Title, and a 4-Peat as well.
From Japan (English translation by Google)
If you are a baseball fan and are planning to visit Tokyo, I recommend including a game at Jingu Stadium in your itinerary.
This stadium will have a 99-year history this year (2024), and Babe Ruth once played there in 1934. However, due to plans for redevelopment in the area, this small, aging but great stadium is set to be demolished (despite many objections).
I promptly looked up video of the Rod Allen chase, and was left in tears laughing. That's an all-timer.
Can you rank the best Canadian Football League Stadiums?
A part of me always thought the Japanese played baseball only in domes. Thanks for the educational video.
Sapporo Dome is famous as the stadium where Shohei Ohtani, Kensuke Tanaka, Tsuyoshi Shinjo and Yu Darvish played an active part in MLB.
The new ballpark will be relocated to Kitahiroshima City, Hokkaido in 2023.
(This was because the city of Sapporo didn't want to renovate the Sapporo Dome.)

Fun Facts! Tokyo Dome also hosts New Japan Pro Wrestling's flagship pay-per view event Wrestle Kingdom (Japan's Wrestlemania), along with a host of other non Baseball events.
Shinjuku, Tokyo appears in Gran Turismo 3 in the Tokyo Road Circuit Coarse (idk if that track appears in any other GT game) as the giant caged ballpark can be seen in the background.
calling Sadaharu Oh Babe Ruth does not do him justice, if him, Ruth, and Josh Gibson of the Negro Leagues were in the MLB, Oh would have the 2nd most HR's of all time with 868 home runs to Ruth's 714, only Gibson would've had more with over 900 (possibly more!).
Sadaharu Oh also had a managing career, which while prolific, did have some controversy at times.
Do a CPBL STADIUMS
I'm struggling to not make a Band-Maid reference (for those who don't know, they're a phenomenal all-female Japanese hard rock band, who you all should check out), so I'll be concise. Their lead singer is a Hanshin Tigers fan (and, as such, hates the Yomiuri Giants, because the Tigers-Giants rivalry in Japan is akin to the Dodgers-Giants and Yankees-Red Sox rivalries here in America). Their drummer, at a show in Hiroshima in 2018, went offstage during a break in the show, quickly changed into a Hiroshima Carp uniform, and came back out. Also, you say Pocky, I cannot help but laugh, remembering the Pocky kiss at Band-Maid's show at the Mercury Lounge last September. For those of you who aren't complete Maidiacs like myself, here's the story: their lead guitarist took a Pocky, held one end in her teeth, stuck the other end up their bassist's nose, and fed said end to their rhythm guitarist. This led to their rhythm guitarist calling their lead guitarist, quote, "so devil." The only thing that saved their lead guitarist was the fact that this was the night before her birthday.
Most importantly, the tokyo dome has 1/3 taco bells in tokyo
I can attest to this because I ate there last year while I visited the grounds 🌮🌮🌮
I didn’t know Japan had its own Shea Stadium
Jared he do be alive tho
Jack Me-Hoff I do saw him last week doe
dude you’re dead
Meiji Jingu is where high schools from all over the country play in the Fall tournament. Hanshin Koshien is where the National High School Tournaments are held in the Spring (invitational) and Summer.
i loved playing in the playground around Yokohama Stadium with my kids then going across the street to YMCA for swim lessons. Fun fact: modern Yokohama stadium is built on the same land that U.S. forces built a baseball field during the post war occupation, it was named Joe DiMaggio Stadium.
oh, also got to see Ichiro during the World Baseball Classic in 2010 at Tokyo dome and saw Ricky Williams sitting 3 rows behind me! Was going to see the olympics this year but Corona....:(
Hey a FivePoint you should critique every Mexican Baseball League (LMB) they have some really interesting and unique stadiums
I live for the stadium videos
Man, Japan DOES have some nice baseball stadiums. The one that's a dome but not really a dome is a very cool concept. I could see something like that here in the states.
you missed the funniest part of the Osaka Dome highlight, the announcer proceeds to go absolutely nuts, as he rounds the bases culminating in this gem, when translated. "Step on the home base dude, step on home base, plant your feet firmly on the base dude. HOOOMMMMEEE IIIINNNN!!" (Home In is the term they use in Japan for a run scoring.)
There is a slight bit of asymmetry in Zoom Zoom Stadium. Right field is 100m (328ft), left and right center are 116m (381ft), center is 122m (400ft), but left field is 101m (331ft). The outfield wall is curved most of the way, but flattens out towards left.
Makuhari Messe (two syllables, “messeh”) is a convention center; Magic: The Gathering tournaments and other events are held there.
6:51 this stadium was featured in a Gamera movie, which is a giant monster like Godzilla but a turtle
The fact that FPV referred to it as Jacobs Field makes the burn a little better bc that’s what it is. It’s the “The Jake”.
These stadium videos on this channel are always on point! Thank you for these videos man, big fan of the channel and your bluntness. Keep it up sir. 🙂👍🏻👏🏻
Chris Goff thanks Chris!
FivePoints Vids Thank you for the awesome content sir, one of my favorite channels by far!
The photoshopped wheels on the last picture are just plain comedic gold.
Rakuten Seimei Park(literally Rakuten Life Park)'s title sponsor is Rakuten Life Insurance. But when Rakuten went on a absolute tear in 2018 with a staggering record of 58-82-3, people dubbed it "Rakuten Zetsumei Park", which means "Rakuten Death Park" as they went 22-50 in home games while going 36-32-3 away.
Great video! I’m a fan of Hideki Matsui’s former team, the Tokyo Yomiuri Giants! I would love to see more NPB content on this channel!
Babe Ruth said "too large" when he came to the Koshien stadium.
5:37 shell of koopa lol🤣
Koshien Stadium is one of the great ballparks. It’s like a combination of Wrigley (with ivy outside!), Fenway, and Old Yankee Stadium. Babe Ruth also played there, with a plaque outside commemorating him.
The Tokyo Dome also hosts New Japan Pro Wrestling’s Wrestle Kingdom annually every January

Dammit, you did it again. I WANTED to skip this one, but you made it worthwhile and interesting right to the end.
4:10 who else notices this stadium is on super mega baseball 2
Do liga mexicana del Pacifico (Mexican winter league) stadiums next please.
Open-sided dome is brilliant. I bet that's an amazing place to catch a game.
Hanshin Koshien Stadium - As the anime Ace of Diamond calls it "The Holy Mecca of Japanese Baseball." The Japanese High School National Championship Tournament is hosted here EVERY YEAR (simply known as "The Koshien" in Japan). NCAA intensity is likely an understatement, as the overall format of Japanese High School baseball makes March Madness look tame in comparison. Each year twice a year, the champions of each of Japan's 47 prefectures, plus one runner up lottery winner participate in a single elimination tournament to determine the National High School Champion.
In the fall High Schools from around Japan determine their individual prefectures champions with teams made up of only 1st and 2nd year students (10th and 11th grade)... in the spring they hold the first tournament of the year (when these students are now 11th and 12th graders). Then comes the summer tournament where new 1st year students are able to join these teams. The summer tournament by far is considered the most prestigious of the two as Japan's summer heat puts a significant obstacle in the way.
If you are missing baseball like many are right now, consider watching the entire anime series of "Ace of Diamond" (also called Diamond no Ace), which is available on Anime Planet and Crunchyroll. This series is a brutal and truly gritty look at the difficulty of Japanese High School Baseball and the sacrifices students make to participate. This series really dives deep into the nuances of baseball. If I'd seen this series as a kid, I would have never of stopped playing.
One slight correction since I was typing this while nearly asleep. During the summer tournament, Tokyo is divided up into East and West brackets and there is no runner up lottery.
俺 英語分からないけど
言いたいことは分かる(語彙力不足)
That was hilarious about Boston Red Sox funding Lions' baseball stadium via Dice-K's contract 20 years after the stadium opening.
The Tokyo Dome, apart from hosting NPB games has also hosted some NFL preseason games, and is also home to NJPW's biggest event, Wrestle Kingdom.
Oh yes, the January 4th Supercard Show! :D

Absolutely outstanding video!!! Great information and visuals.
This won’t be the Jingu’s last season. It will be around at least 10+ more years.
This video was awesome man. I actually learned a lot from this video
Its weird to hear 5points not have much negatives about these stadiums. Its almost like most of them feel cool looking
great videos ...you are the best. from Dominican Rep.
I managed to see a Tigers game in person (getting tickets to an NPB game is nigh impossible) and Koshien is probably the prettiest baseball stadium I’ve ever seen
Oh, the Sapporo Nippon-Ham Fighters will play in a new stadium that, in some aspects, resembles that of the Globe Life Park beginning the 2023 NPB season.
Critiquing Premier League stadiums when, FPV?
also Koshien trivia: the stadium is pretty famous for the ivy exterior, and also hosts Koshien Bowl, a college football bowl held since 1946
also the National High School Baseball Tournament.
Btw we use Yokohama stadium for Div1 Eastern conference colledge gridiron seasonal game. Also Tokyo dome held the Rice Bowl which colledge champion team play against amateur champion team.
He should do Cuban baseball stadiums. These stadiums vids feed my addiction to sports in quarantine 😂
It's Mazda Zoom - Zoom Stadium! Homage to the amazing "Zoom Zoom" commercials with that kid!
Man this brings back memories. I was in Japan last year and attended a game at both Tokyo Dome and Meiji Jingu. Going to a NBL game is a MUST for any baseball fan. Think baseball with a Soccer/Futbol crowd. And really cute beer girls who have beer backpacks
Fun fact I’m eating Pocky watching this
Amazing how a game invented in the 18th century to keep British children amused ended up all the way to Japan!
Nice video! Please do KBO Stadiums next!
That MetLife stadium is so cool and unique. Freaking cool.
