Tokyo Gov. Yuriko Koike, Yomiuri Giants Owner Toshikazu Yamaguchi, Manager Shinnosuke Abe and farm team manager Masumi Kuwata cut a ceremonial ribbon at the opening ceremony.
A game was played on the day between the Giants and the Tokyo Yakult Swallows to commemorate the stadium’s opening, with former Giants managers Tsuneo Horiuchi, Tatsunori Hara and Yoshinobu Takahashi appearing at the first pitch ceremony.
