Stadiums With Stunning Glass Roofs That Let Nature Be Part of the Game

13. Tokyo Dome – Japan’s Glass-Enclosed Giant

The Tokyo Dome, nicknamed "The Big Egg," was one of the first stadiums in the world to feature a domed, air-supported roof with glass elements. Unlike rigid steel structures, the Tokyo Dome’s partially transparent roofing system is a pressurized membrane supported by air, allowing natural light to illuminate the field while protecting spectators from extreme weather conditions. The stadium remains one of Japan’s most iconic multi-purpose venues, hosting baseball, concerts, and even sumo wrestling events. The clever use of glass-like materials in its roof helps to distribute light evenly across the playing surface, making it one of the brightest domed stadiums in the world.
