Japanese at it again?

Amazing, only Japanese can imagine & execute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sapporo (A commercial city in northern Japan on western Hokkaido)stadium Seating capacity of 42,122, what's unique about this Stadium is that, it's an indoor stadium with the playing field out side, and when required, the field will move inside the stadium... and not only that, the field once inside it will rotate within its axis toensure the spectators will get a all round view of the game being played...

This isn't recent news though...the stadium has been in use for quite some yrs for baseball and am pretty sure was used in the World Cup 2002 for some matches. Discovery also showed a program on it once ....I think

Wasn't this the same place where the world cup football finals was played?
