The Nakajima Sports Center (中島スポーツセンター, Nakajima Supōtsu Sentā) was a multi-purpose event facility located in Nakajima Park in Chūō-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan. It was built in 1954 for the National Sports Festival of Japan.[citation needed] A concert by the rock band Rainbow in January 1978 resulted in one death when 2,000 fans rushed the stage.[1] By the end of the 1990s, the facility had lost its viability and was eventually demolished.[citation needed]
