Structure

File:Interior of Odate Jukai Dome 20181020b.jpg

The roof was made from 25,000 Akita cypress trees which were aged over the course of 60 years. This wooden framework is covered with a special double Teflon-coated membrane made from translucent fluorethylene resin-coated fibreglass.{{cite web|url=http://business.highbeam.com/410341/article-1G1-142337434/ones-beat|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714185305/http://business.highbeam.com/410341/article-1G1-142337434/ones-beat|url-status=dead|archive-date=2014-07-14|title=The ones to beat.(Works) (Brief Article) |access-date=2014-06-07}} This membrane is very strong and light. The stadium is located in a region of Japan that it subjected to heavy snowfall of {{convert|2|to|3|m|ft|abbr=on}}. Because of this, the dome itself also has an aerodynamic design to resist strong winds and heavy snowfall. Buildup of snow on the roof is prevented by circulating warm air between the two Teflon-coated membranes; this shakes off the snow and allows the stadium to be used in all weather.
