Toyota Stadium in Toyota, Aichi, was designed by Kisho Kurokawa and is owned by Toyota City. Groundbreaking was in 1997 and it opened on July 21, 2001. The article calls it a football-specific stadium. Metabolism is an assumption based on the architect.
The grass pitch is 115 by 78 meters and capacity is 45,000. The retractable roof folds in an accordion-like manner. The article carries an uncited claim that it has not been closed since 2015 because of maintenance costs.
Nagoya Grampus, Toyota Verblitz and the Japan national football team have played here. It hosted the FIFA Club World Cup, formerly the Toyota Cup, and the 2019 Rugby World Cup, the first held in Asia. Typhoon Hagibis cancelled one match.
