Where is the Akiba Dome that is mentioned in Love Live! School Idol the Movie?
At first since it says Akiba, I thought it would be in Akiba, Japan. But then,
considering Ootonokizaka High's location (near Akiba), it doesn't make sense
that they would go there on plane. Later on the Statue of Liberty was shown,
so the Akiba Dome should be somewhere in New York, right? But where exactly in
New York is that, because when I Googled, there is no such a thing such as
Akiba Dome.

If it is actually a fictional place, what real world place is it modeled
after? I guess the Madison Square Garden, just a guess though.

The real world location of Akiba Dome


Ok, after re-watching it, at 6:28 of the movie,

So basically, they are in US for the TV station's offer and not for the third
Love Live.

As for the location of Tokyo Dome, this [site](http://lovelive-
matome.com/archives/akibadome0709.html) suggests that Akiba Dome is actually a
reference to Tokyo Dome. The title in the site says

【劇場版ラブライブ】秋葉ドームはやっぱ東京ドームじゃね！？こことかモロじゃん！【僕光】(21:00)

The first sentence if translated into English means

[Love Live the Movie] Akiba Dome is Tokyo Dome, right?

Considering that the site is in Japanese (high probability of owned and
maintained by Japanese community), and that they suggest that Akiba Dome is
Tokyo Dome means that Akiba Dome doesn't actually exists in the real world.
