Sports Dome: Cost of Construction, Operation, and Equipment

‍Build Your Dream Sports Dome — Faster, Smarter, More Affordable

Imagine playing year-round, rain or shine, under your very own cutting-edge sports dome. Whether you’re a school, club, or community leader, inflatable air domes open up a world of possibilities — all at a fraction of the cost of traditional buildings.

🚀 Smart Investment, Huge Savings

The cost of building a sports dome ranges from $10 to $25 per square foot for the dome structure — and that includes premium materials like flame-retardant membranes and high light-transmission covers. Compared to permanent buildings, air domes are often 50–75% more affordable, with significantly faster installation times.

💡 What’s Included?

Your dome can be customized with everything you need for a modern, comfortable facility:

• Energy-efficient LED lighting

• Climate control through HVAC systems

• High-performance air blowers

• Revolving & emergency doors

• Anchoring systems for all weather conditions

• Optional storage, locker rooms, or clubhouse areas

⚙️ Operational Costs

Running a dome is surprisingly efficient — annual upkeep usually comes in at just $3–$6 per square foot, covering electricity for blowers and heating. Planning ahead ensures smooth operations and energy savings year-round.

🎾 Perfect for Tennis, Soccer, Padel & More

A mid-six-figure investment can get you a top-tier tennis dome — giving you the ability to run programs, events, and rentals 365 days a year. More bookings, more members, more revenue.
