They will have a 960m long Red Carpet wrapping around the Dome for players and coaches to walk down.
Yomiuri Giants
...The Giants announced they re-signed Soichi Fujita to a 40M yen contract (down 10M yen).
...Yoshiyuki Kamei returned to his workouts on Thursday in preparation for the upcoming U-26 vs College All-Star Game.
