LaLa arena TOKYO-BAY: Capacity, Access & Chiba Jets Home Guide
LaLa arena TOKYO-BAY is a multipurpose arena in Funabashi, Chiba, with an official maximum capacity of about 11,000 (also rounded to roughly 10,000 in some official headline references) at 2-5-15 Hamacho, Funabashi-shi, Chiba. The nearest station is Minami-Funabashi, on the JR Keiyo Line and Musashino Line, a 6-minute walk. This guide has the verified capacity, address, station access and what's nearby, for planning a Chiba Jets game or a show.
Capacity
| Configuration | Capacity |
|---|---|
| Maximum (official spec-table figure, incl. arena-floor seating) | ~11,000 |
| Rounded/headline figure (used in some of the same official materials) | ~10,000 |
Official sources give two figures side by side rather than one superseding the other. Mitsui Fudosan's own press release announcing the arena (issued April 8, 2024, in both Japanese and English) uses a rounded "approx. 10,000" in its headline copy, then states a more precise "approx. 11,000 (with additional seating on arena floor)" in its detailed spec table — Nikkei xTECH's construction-trade coverage does the same within a single article. The venue's official site and Japanese Wikipedia use the higher, more precise 11,000 figure; the Chiba Jets' own project page still uses the rounded "roughly 10,000" figure as of mid-2026, well after the arena opened, so it isn't simply an earlier or superseded number. No official source publishes a separate standing-only or seated-only total, so this guide does not assert a seated/standing breakdown.
The arena was jointly developed by Mitsui Fudosan and MIXI and is operated by TOKYO-BAY Arena Management Corp. It's a steel-frame building of four storeys above ground, with a total floor area of about 31,000 m² (approx. 333,681 sq ft). Construction was completed on April 17, 2024, and Mitsui Fudosan's official press release states a grand-opening event was scheduled for the afternoon of Wednesday, May 29, 2024. It is the home arena of the B.LEAGUE basketball team Chiba Jets Funabashi.
