history
In May 1990 the Green Dome was opened in Maebashi Park. The hall offers a maximum of 20,000 seats and is mainly used as a velodrome. It is also known as the Maebashi Velodrome (Japanese 前 橋 競 輪 場 , Maebashi Keirinjyō ). There are also 15 conference rooms of various sizes available in the building. In the basement there is 900 m² of space available for events. The cycling track has a length of 335 meters. The keirin races, which are popular in Japan, are held and bets can be placed on them, just like horse races . In August 1990 the UCI Track World Championships were held in the Green Dome. Nine years later, the 1999 World Indoor Athletics Championships took place in the Green Dome . The basketball team of the Gunma Crane Thunders took the hall by 2016 for their home games.
The 1990 Rail World Cup was the first international event in the Green Dome . On this occasion, the President of the Federation of German Cyclists (BDR), Werner Göhner , and the German Cycling Association of the GDR (DRSV), Wolfgang Schoppe , symbolically removed the bars between the driver boxes of the two German teams a few months before reunification .
