Tokyo Dome likely limited profit decline for first half

Aggressive cost cutting helped defray impact of facility closures

LED lighting was installed in the Tokyo Dome, reducing utility expenses.

TOKYO -- Tokyo Dome's operating profit apparently fell 10% on the year in the first half through July to around 6 billion yen ($55.2 million), better than the 16% drop projected by the company.

While repairs and closures of hotels and other facilities weighed down revenue, the operator of the baseball stadium that bears its name slashed costs by updating lighting and other equipment to more efficient types.
