Amenities: Each seat is equipped with a removable tray, armrest-integrated drink holder, tablet device for viewing Baseball broadcasts, replays and player data, power outlets and luggage hooks, improving not only comfort but also convenience. Size: W570 x D835 x H1,035mm / Occupied area is approximately 2.0 times larger than conventional seats.

Size: W520 x D590 x H890mm / Occupies 1.2 times the space of previous models

All infield spectator seats have been improved

The seats on the first floor have been fitted with padding on the backrests and seats, and the angle and shape of the seats on both the first and second floors have been changed to increase the knee space by approximately 1.5 times compared to previous models, improving comfort.

Update period: 1st phase (January to March 2016) 1st floor infield seats: approx. 20,000 seats, 2nd phase (January to March 2017) 2nd floor infield seats: approx. 14,000 seats

Converting arena lighting to LED

Since the arena first opened, metal halide lamps (HID), which are close to natural light, have been installed in a ring shape on the walls at the top of the stands and on batons hanging from the roof. However, in order to promote energy conservation, reduce the environmental impact, and create a lighting environment with a more dramatic effect, all lighting in the arena will be updated to LED.

Updated: March 2016 (outfield side) / March 2017 (infield side)
- This will be implemented in stages, taking into consideration the viewing environment for players and spectators during Baseball games.
Lighting system: Ring lighting + 4 baton lights (previously ring lighting + 14 baton lights)
Floodlights: LED approx. 700 lights (before change: HID approx. 1,200 lights)

Introducing the latest sound system

As the main speakers, 22 cutting-edge line array speakers will be installed next to the back screen, the first of their kind in the world to be permanently installed in a stadium.

This system is used in live venues and other venues, and provides a more comfortable acoustic environment by reducing delay and providing high reproducibility and a uniform sound field.

Updated: March 2016 (outfield side) / March 2017 (infield side)
Speakers: Approx. 110 units (previously approx. 140 units)

All toilets are equipped with warm water washing toilet seats

To ensure a comfortable stay for our guests, all toilets will be equipped with toilet seats with warm water washing functions.

Last updated: March 2016
Number of installations: Approximately 230 locations on the 1st to 4th floors. In order to conserve water, a precious natural resource, Tokyo Dome has adopted a rainwater recycling system since it opened, and uses water for flushing toilets.

Improvement of the surrounding environment

We will also be promoting the creation of a safe and secure city by improving the environment around the exterior of Tokyo Dome building, including creating green spaces, developing an artificial ground, installing new elevators and stairs, renovating public toilets, and increasing the number of outdoor lights and converting them to LED.
