Faqs

What are the “Exchange Matches” (Interleague) scheduled in May and June?

The Exchange Matches are special series where teams from the Pacific League, like the Hawks, play against teams from the Central League. In 2026, the Hawks will host popular Central League teams including the Hiroshima Toyo Carp, the Hanshin Tigers, and the Tokyo Yakult Swallows, offering a rare chance to see these cross-league matchups.

What makes the “Pia Special Seat” different from standard seating?

Pia Special Seats are designated blocks of tickets that often provide excellent views of the diamond. These are highly sought after by fans who want a guaranteed quality vantage point within the Mizuho PayPay Dome, and they are typically released in specific sales phases including pre-sales and general sales.

Are there specific traditions I should watch for at a Hawks home game?

One of the most famous traditions is the “Lucky 7” celebration during the seventh inning, where thousands of fans release yellow jet balloons into the air. Additionally, if the Hawks win the game, the stadium roof may be opened for a celebratory fireworks display inside the dome.

How early should I arrive at the Mizuho PayPay Dome?

It is highly recommended to arrive at least 60 to 90 minutes before the game starts. This gives you ample time to navigate the entry gates, purchase official merchandise, explore the stadium food stalls, and soak in the pre-game atmosphere and player warm-ups.

Is the Mizuho PayPay Dome easily accessible by public transportation?

Yes, the dome is accessible via the Fukuoka City Subway at Tojinmachi Station, followed by a roughly 15-minute walk. There are also frequent shuttle buses that run from major hubs like Hakata Station and Tenjin directly to the stadium on game days for the convenience of fans.
