My first reaction was to stop and take a deep breath. Or maybe it was to stop and say, "Wow!" Whatever it was, I definitely stopped in my tracks when I saw the Dome, the roller coaster, the Ferris wheel, the playground, the kids and families, the people, the stores, the food options, and the sheer size of the dome. The sheer size of this place just cannot be imagined for a town like Tokyo. Where everything else goes up, this place spreads out. On rounding the corner, you are presented with an enormous crescent dome. To one side is an enormous roller coaster, behind an enormous roller coaster attached to an enormous kids park. At the base of the dome are merchandise shops selling everything you can imagine and food shops selling an amazing array of western and Japanese food with beer available in all of them. Outside it was so hot! The sun in August is powerful and unrelenting in Tokyo. There was sweat running everywhere. And then I walked through the multitude of doors into sweet, sweet airconditioned bliss. For such an enormous, cavernous dome, the temperature was set to something incredibly comfortable. On every level are a diverse range of food stores selling everything you can imagine, including so many different kinds of bento sets. Not only can you buy alcohol in the shops, but from women laden with kegs in backpacks that dispense different brands of beer and spirits, plus ice creams. Once you have purchased your first meal, you can remain in your seat for the entirety of the game staying lubricated at reasonable prices. The baseball itself was brilliant. However, the most exciting thing is the coordinated chanting and singing from the fans. At the change of innings the opposing fans would sing, clap and carry on in unison non-stop. It actually makes the entire experience so unique.
