Tacoma Dome
Location: Tacoma, WA

SPS+ Architects won an open national design competition from the city of Tacoma, Washington. The competition was for a 25,000 fully enclosed multi-use sports arena which could be used fully year round. Having patented an eight way connection hub and long-span beam connectors for construction, SPS+ maximized the utility of a domed space. Taking advantage of the ensphere’s flexibility, the Tacoma dome hosts sporting events, motor cross, rock concerts, and minor league football.
