I saw a TV program (Nat Geo – Big, Bigger, Biggest) on Oita Stadium, which in shape is kind of quarter sphere. To my eyes it looked more beautiful than half-sphere domes. It has a retractable roof and automatic fire extinguishing systems. This stadium is also know as Oita Big Eye, as the rectrable roof open & close like human eye lid.

Also found other beautiful domes such as Seibu Dome, Nagoya Dome etc on the internet. Google search string "Largest clear-span structures - Large Domes".
