Vantelin Dome Nagoya Capacity: 49,185 Max (36,778 for Baseball)
Vantelin Dome Nagoya (バンテリンドーム ナゴヤ) — known as Nagoya Dome from its 1997 opening until 2021 — is a domed multi-purpose stadium in Higashi-ku, Nagoya. It seats 36,778 for professional baseball, with an official maximum of 49,185 when the arena floor is opened up for other events (both figures as of the 2026 season). The nearest station is Nagoyadome-mae Yada, about a 5-minute walk on a fully covered route. This guide has the verified capacity, address, station access and what's nearby.
Capacity
| Configuration | Capacity |
|---|---|
| Professional baseball (2026 season) | 36,778 seats |
| Arena floor open — official maximum (2026) | 49,185 |
The operator's official site does not publish a separate "concert capacity" figure. The 49,185 maximum is the arena-floor-open configuration — the closest official analog to a concert capacity — and actual concert layouts typically use fewer seats once a stage and rigging are installed.
Vantelin Dome Nagoya opened on March 12, 1997 as Nagoya Dome, run by Nagoya Dome Corporation (株式会社ナゴヤドーム), and carried no sponsor name for about 24 years — its first-ever naming-rights deal. Kowa Corporation, the Nagoya-based maker of the Vantelin pain-relief patch line, acquired the naming rights effective January 1, 2021 (a five-year contract through December 31, 2025), renaming the venue Vantelin Dome Nagoya. That deal was renewed in a multi-year extension announced in December 2025 (the exact new contract length has not been publicly disclosed), so the operator's site continues to use the Vantelin Dome Nagoya name for the 2026 season. A renovation completed in February 2026 added a new "Home Run Wing" and additional arena seating, reflected in the current capacity figures above.
