The Dome at America's CenterThe Dome at America's Center converts to roughly 145,000 square feet of floor space when its seating retracts, giving the downtown convention complex a stadium-scale extension for oversized programs.

The Dome sits directly attached to America's Center and hosts conventions, trade shows, exhibitions, concerts, and sporting events, with roughly 145,000 square feet of usable floor once the retractable seating pulls back.

Two club spaces built into the building, the North End Zone Club and the South End Zone Club, add flexible event rooms scaled from around 100 up to 600 guests and up to 345 guests, useful for hospitality suites or breakout sessions tied to a larger Dome program.

Because the Dome shares infrastructure with the rest of America's Center, planning a program here means coordinating with the venue team early on rigging, AV, and ballroom rules rather than assuming the same setup as a standalone arena.

This page treats the Dome as its own planning unit inside the wider America's Center campus, since its retractable floor and club spaces behave differently from the standard exhibit halls next door.
