Giants match up as referenced up thread. I'm going to be in Sapporo in May and will try my best to catch the Fighters at the Sapporo Dome. Not thrilled to be going to my third dome in Japan but I'm sure it'll still be fun.
After purchasing Giants v Carp online a few days ago and having the Osaka Hyatt procure a pair of tix for the Tigers v Giants game, which went on sale this morning, I'm a happy man having paid only Y270 over ticket cost.

The other games we're looking at will be a show-up-at-the-game-and-buy-tickets event.

As for the sight itself he gives the option of 3 levels of seats which makes his life easier but takes away options for us. That said we had a similar situation with the hotel today and, though I know the general area of our seats, it remains to be seen exactly where they are and how high up they are.
