Club Overview
The Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks are a Pacific League club based in Fukuoka City, playing at Mizuho PayPay Dome Fukuoka — Japan’s first retractable-roof stadium, opened in 1993 with a capacity of about 40,100.
Seating Guide
Infield seats are split between the first-base (Hawks) and third-base (visitor) sides, relatively calm, while the outfield is the passionate cheering zone. “Home Run Cheering Seats” right in front of the outfield stands and buffet-style “Group Seats” are distinctive options.
Tickets
Official tickets are available through the club’s ticketing site (“Taka Ticket”), which requires free “Taka Point” membership registration.
This site is mainly in Japanese — here's how to get through it
- On the ticket site, click your desired match date.
- Choose a seating zone — pricing for each zone is shown directly on the site.
- Sign up or log in, then pick your seat and complete the payment.
- Some clubs check ID against the buyer's name at entry, so bring your passport along with the ticket.

Cheer Culture
Famous for the fight song “Iza Yuke Wakataka Gundan” (“Go Now, Young Hawks Corps”), the right-field taiko drum corps leads the cheering while “beer girls” with keg backpacks move through the stands. Every player has his own personal cheer song and hand motions.
