The Pacific League is 78-73-9 against the Central League. ... The 14806 in attendance set an All-Star Game low.
Central: Akagawa is the first pitcher to toss three perfect innings during an All-Star Game since Masaki Saito and Hideki Irabu in 1996.
Pacific: Matsuda was the only player on either roster to player in every inning of all three All-Star Games this year.
Can anyone offer me some insights on this stadium? Any regular season games played here? Thanks!
Rakuten’s played there before – seems they play there fairly often.
The Japanese Wikipedia entry says a lot of teams have played there. In Japanese:
プロ野球公式戦は、完成年にヤクルトスワローズ対大洋ホエールズ戦が開催されている。以降、ヤクルト、大洋・横浜の他、読売ジャイアンツ、広島東洋カープ、阪神タイガース、日本ハムファイターズ、オリックス・ブルーウェーブなどが主催公式戦を開催。2005年からは東北楽天ゴールデンイーグルスの公式戦が年1～2試合開催されるようになった。
2012年には、例年通り7月31日に楽天主催試合が組まれたほか（対福岡ソフトバンクホークス）、7月23日に岩手県内では初めての開催となるオールスターゲーム（第3戦）と、同8月29日には、盛岡では1990年以来22年ぶりとなる巨人主催試合も行われる（対中日ドラゴンズ・第20回戦）。
