Sapporo Atsubetsu Stadium

Atsubetsu Town, Hokkaido Prefecture

Atsubetsu Stadium was the original home of Consadole Sapporo, before Sapporo Dome was built, and it continues to be the venue for many of Sapporo's matches. Since it is much smaller than the dome, it is used for matches that are expected to draw smaller crowds. In addition, the outdoor air is more refreshing, especially during the warm and sunny summer months. However, as stadiums go, Atsubetsu has little to recommend it. The stadium is a clone of all the other multipurpose grounds scattered across the Japanese archipelago, with a fairly nondescript press box and a ring of uncovered stands surrounding the track. Sapporo Dome is ceratinly a more unique venue, with seating closer to the action.
