Sapporo Dome is the first dome in the world equipped with a system for switching between turf for baseball and football.

Sapporo Dome is the northern most all-weather dome in Japan. The stadium is home to the professional football team Consadole Sapporo and professional baseball team Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters. The dome features the world’s first “hovering system,” which opens and closes the dome walls to lift and move the 8,300t natural turf football field, which measures 120meters long by 85m wide. On days without games or other events, dome tours are offered. The Dome also features an observation tower, park for children, and a weight training room.
