Uvance Todoroki Stadium by Fujitsu

Uvance Todoroki Stadium by Fujitsu The name on the front of the new main stand has changed three times. It began as Todoroki Athletics Stadium, became Kawasaki Todoroki Stadium, and now carries the name of a computer company. The blue seats fill up in a way that suggests the town is more interested in the team than the track, even though the track is still there. The banners in the stands are long and flat, stretched across the railings like scarves. The light tower stands alone behind the far end, a single tall pole with a head like a satellite dish.

The 2015 renovation brought wood and solar panels to a site that was originally concrete and steel. The plans say the football-only track will be gone by 2029, but for now the red lanes are still visible between the stands and the pitch. The distance between the nearest seat and the nearest touchline is short enough that a ball kicked wide can bounce back onto the grass before it hits the barriers. The crowd in the orange end is visible from the corner flag, and the crowd in the blue end is visible from the halfway line. The two ends face each other across the green rectangle, and the track separates them.
