An evaluation system of the visibility of a ball flying is indispensable for the best architectural design and artificial lighting design of a baseball dome stadium, as it is essential to create a suitable visual environment for both players and spectators to watch the ball. This paper describes a simulation theory of the visibility of balls flying in the baseball dome space proposed by the authors and shows the recommendable reflectance of the construction material and suitable artificial lighting system by the simulated results of a model dome stadium. The results of this research work convinced the authors of its contribution to construct the visually comfortable environment of a dome interiors.
