With a capacity of either17,800 or 20,000 (depending upon whose figures you trust) Jubilo Iwata Stadium is no longer large enough to handle the crowds for key matches, and as a result, many Jubilo home matches are now played at nearby Shizuoka "Ecopa" Stadium, which was one of the World Cup venues in 2002.
