Info
Tokyo Stadium (東京スタジアム, Tōkyō Sutajiamu) is a multi-purpose stadium in Chōfu, Tokyo, Japan. The stadium was founded at Kantō Mura, the redevelopment area formerly used by United States Forces Japan, in March 2001. It was the first stadium in Japan that offered its naming rights, which were sold to Ajinomoto Co., Inc. with a 5-year 1.2 billion yen (about 10 million U.S. dollars) contract, from March 2003 to February 2008. This contract was renewed on November 2007 and extended by 6 years for 1.4 billion yen to February 2014. As a result, it is now named Ajinomoto Stadium (味の素スタジアム, Ajinomoto Sutajiamu).
