Best Sports Venues in Fukuoka

, 3 Options Found

The Fukuoka Yahuoku! Dome resembles something from a futuristic movie set, having been the first retractable-roof stadium in Japan. Now it is home to the Daiei Hawks professional baseball team. Hot dogs and beer are de rigueur inside, but outside, an extensive complex of fast-food and other restaurants have been built. Wise Fukuokans tend to avoid driving through the area on game days. The Dome is particularly impressive at the end of the day when the setting sun reflecting off the roof's metallic surface adds a touch of magic to the Momochi district.

Apart from the Fukuoka Dome, this "international center" is the largest venue in the city. The number of people the building can accommodate depends largely on the type of event and arrangement of seating, but it is literally several thousand. Notable sports events held here are the Kyushu Basho (sumo tournament) and international Judo competitions. Be aware that the place is so big, if you do not have seats near the floor, you will not be able to see much. The same goes for concerts, which are also held here regularly.

Level5 has the prestige of being counted among the best sports venues in the city. Some of the events held at this highly notable architecture include, Rugby World Cup and Top League Challenge Series. With a seating capacity of 22,563, stadium can be heard roaring with excitement and nail biting nervousness, as the crowd is glued to matches. With a history of such prestigious sports tournaments, the stadium is a perfect place for sports lovers.
