Is opening day a big thing in Japan as it is stateside?

The Swallows have not released their 2017 schedule yet it seems.

Should I do both? I'm a big baseball fan and have always wanted to go to the Tokyo Dome.
March 31 Giants game at Tokyo Dome is the first official season game. The game starts at 6 p.m. and Tokyo Dome opens at 4 p.m. Limited advance sale of tickets start at Feb. 10 12:00 noon Japan time, limited advance sale is available via Giants Club and E Plus ticket sales website. General sales start at Feb. 25 11:00 a.m. Japan time.

And, yes, opening day is popular in Japan, too.

Opening day of Yakult Swallows is on March 31 6 p.m. at Jingu Stadium, sorry you won’t able to do both.
