Chiba Marine Stadium (千葉マリンスタジアム, Chiba Marin Sutajiamu?) is a stadium in Chiba City, Japan. It opened in 1990 and holds 30,000 people.
The official opening of the stadium was held on April 13, 1990, when popstar Madonna opened her Blond Ambition Tour at the venue. Unfortunately, the show was blighted by very heavy rain and high winds, which led to the concert being dramatically scaled-back.
The Summer Sonic Festival is held in the stadium and the neighbouring Makuhari Messe every summer.
It is primarily used for baseball and is the home field of the Chiba Lotte Marines, secondarily used for Rugby union.

Famous quotes containing the words marine and/or stadium:
“People run away from the name subsidy. It is a subsidy. I am not afraid to call it so. It is paid for the purpose of giving a merchant marine to the whole country so that the trade of the whole country will be benefitted thereby, and the men running the ships will of course make a reasonable profit.... Unless we have a merchant marine, our navy if called upon for offensive or defensive work is going to be most defective.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“The final upshot of thinking is the exercise of volition, and of this thought no longer forms a part; but belief is only a stadium of mental action, an effect upon our nature due to thought, which will influence future thinking.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
