Tacoma Dome
The Superior Dome is also not a geodesic dome; it is a planar radian structure of glue-laminated beams. The first concert in the Tacoma Dome was David Bowie with The Tubes as the opening act.
The arena hosted the Seattle SuperSonics from 1994-1995 while the Seattle Center Coliseum was being renovated into the venue now known as KeyArena as well as various regular season Sonics games during other seasons. It also hosted the Tacoma Rockets Western Hockey League team from 1991 to 1995, the Tacoma Sabercats of the West Coast Hockey League from 1997 to 2002, The Tacoma Stars indoor soccer team of the MISL from 1984 to 1992, gymnastics events during the 1990 Goodwill Games, numerous other minor league ice hockey and indoor soccer teams, and many concerts as well.
It additionally hosts wrestling events, such as WCW Spring Stampede 1999.
The Professional Bull Riders have hosted a Built Ford Tough Series bull riding event at the Dome every year since 2003. Jehovah's Witnesses have used the dome for their conventions since it was built.
Past concerts at the Tacoma Dome have included Bon Jovi, Celine Dion, Green Day, U2, Britney Spears, David Bowie, Eric Clapton with Mark Knopfler, The Boston Pops, The Police, Bruce Springsteen, American Idols, AC/DC, and many more.
Paul Simon opened his "Born at The Right Time" tour, his longest to date, in the Tacoma dome.
Unlike most other arenas of its size, the arena contains little in the way of fixed seating so as to maximize the flexibility of the seating arrangements and of the shape of the playing field.
