This is Kyocera Dome in Osaka. This was built in September 20, 1997, and opened March 1. At first, this dome was called “Osaka Dome” but the name was changed from it to “Kyocera Dome” in July 1, 2006 because the right of naming was sold.
The structure is a Dome with ninth stories above ground level and one beneath. The height is about 83 meter, and 55,000 people can come into it.
We can use this Dome with a lot of purposes. For example, you know, we can go to there to watch baseball game not only professional baseball but also high-school baseball. And, many musicians held live concerts. Grobe, Kanjyani∞, Arashi, B’z are the examples. Recently, Celine Dion held a live concert in there.
In addition to these events, we can use it to hold an athletic meet, a sports day, an exhibition. Moreover, we can also hold a wedding ceremony if you pay expensive charge.
