The Fukuoka Yahuoku! Dome 福岡 ヤフオク! ドーム is a baseball field, located in Chūō-ku, Fukuoka, Japan. Built in 1993, the stadium was originally named Fukuoka Dome 福岡ドーム and can accommodate 38,561 spectators. With a diameter of 216 meters, the Fukuoka Yahuoku! Dome is the world’s largest geodesic dome. This is Japan’s first stadium built with a retractable roof. In 2005, Yahoo! JAPAN, one of SoftBank’s subsidiaries, acquired the stadium’s naming rights, and thus renamed it Fukuoka Yahoo! Japan Dome 福岡Yahoo! JAPANドーム . In January 2013, it was renamed to Fukuoka Yafuoku! Dome 福岡 ヤフオク! ドーム.
The adjoining grand resort hotel and a shopping mall together with the dome make a big entertainment site called Hawks Town.
It is located near Momochi Beach, about 15 minutes walk from Tojinmachi subway station.
