Soccer and Football Domes: From Concept to Reality

Why Build a Dome?

Sports fields are community hubs for games, practices, social events, and festivals. A soccer or football dome ensures year-round use, making it less expensive and easier to build than you might think with new air dome technologies.

Benefits of Air Domes

1. Year-Round Revenue: Rent out your facility even in off-seasons, especially valuable in extreme climates.
2. Safety: Maintain comfortable temperatures inside, protecting players and spectators from harsh weather.
3. Extended Use: Protects the field from weather, allowing for more games, practices, and new activities year-round.

   • Football Field: 360 ft (length) x 160 ft (width)

   • Additional space for training fields, gyms, bleachers, changing rooms, and storage.
2. Local Requirements:
