Went to see the Softbank Hawks vs the Rakuten Golden Eagles at the Yahoo! dome. (everything is owned by some business) Luckily I knew enough rules to at least understand the game, but i still prefer soccer at the end of the day. The entire game took 3 hours from start to end, with little action most of the time, and a split second of excitement. But it was really fun watching the crowd cheering, as they really get into the spirit of things.
They have quite a unique way of marketing. If the customer doesn't come to you, you go to the customer. There is literally an army of people like the guy here, who carry everything from a portable beer dispenser on his back to ice-cream to sandwiches etc etc.
See if you can count them all. Those with bright coloured clothings are the sales people I mentioned. Bear in mind that this is only a small section of the dome.
One of the more enjoyable moments was when everyone inflated a yellow balloon and released it at the same time at the end of the half-time show. I have a really nice video clip, too bad I can't show it to you here.
Me and a few friends at the game.
