Hovering Stage (Sapporo Dome)
Kawasaki delivered Hovering Stage (Movable Soccer Field) and Movable Seats for Sapporo Dome in 2002 when FIFA world cup Korea-Japan was held.
Sapporo Dome is now used as multi-purpose all-weather stadium for soccer game, baseball game, concert and exhibition etc. Hovering Stage contributes to the stadium’s unprecedented flexibility.
Hovering Stage is lifted by air pressure, which is sent to inside stage, moved and rotated by wheel. This air-lifted system reduces direct weight load to wheels.
