Opened on 17 March 1988: Japan's first covered, multi-purpose stadium
The Tokyo Dome is Japan's first covered, multi-purpose stadium, opened on 17 March 1988 in the Tokyo Dome City complex. The roof is held up by the pressure of the air inside alone, with no central beams: the difference from the outside pressure is almost imperceptible to anyone underneath. It hosts Yomiuri Giants games and big concerts, with up to 55,000 seats depending on the event; you can only get in with a ticket or on the paid Tokyo Dome Tour.

The indoor stadium in Bunkyō is the model for the stage where Kaguya gives the concert in the finale. Japanese guides point to the south side of the building as the recognisable shot.
Sword Art Online
The fourth battle event of ‘Ordinal Scale’, the one in which Kirito fights alongside Shinon. The scene opens on the view you get arriving from Suidōbashi Station along the footbridge; the pyramid obelisk is the point the fight revolves around, Shinon climbs the grand staircase, and the vending machine that Kirito punches after the fight stands at the foot of that staircase, immediately on the left, in front of the Sega arcade.
