Tacoma Dome Tickets

Tacoma Dome

Located in Tacoma, Washington, just a short jaunt south of Seattle, the Tacoma Dome is a multi-use indoor sports arena that can be configured for basketball, soccer, hockey, and even football. A fan favorite for sports events, concerts, and anything else you can throw at it, this venue has been one of the region’s most popular thanks to its roughly 20,000-seat capacity and its handy location just 30 minutes from Seattle.

History of the Tacoma Dome

Opening in 1983, the Tacoma Dome was a major iconoclast from the start. It was the largest arena in the world with a wooden dome by volume thanks to its 530-foot diameter and its 152-foot height when it was built, and it still holds the crown to this very day. The wood used to construct the roof has another distinction: it was almost universally sourced from trees knocked down in the Mount Saint Helens eruption that rocked the region just a few years prior. This raises the question: where else but the Tacoma Dome can you catch a sports event under a dome made from wood that survived a volcanic explosion?

What Makes Tacoma Dome Events So Special?
