Capacity: 35,879

Comments: You could maybe call this The Big Hat since the dome was  retrofitted

onto an existing outdoor ballpark like a hat. It doesn't help that it is a little off the beaten

path locationwise. It is very hitter friendly and that is a big problem for a pitching staff

that, even with the developeent of Hideaki Wakui, just lost Daisuke Matsuzaka to MLB

and Fumiya Nishiguchi may be hitting the wall. That is exacerbated by a truly crap bullpen.

They do have easily the most balanced offense in Japan, but it will really be forced to step

up to compensate for the deteriorating situation on the hill.
