The Megadome’s plans are not yet concrete, but the potential amenities Fortune presented will support just about any indoor and outdoor sport.
Baseball, basketball, football, soccer, dance, cheer, swim, E-sports and more were included in Fortune’s proposal. The Megadome would include four baseball diamonds, which Fortune called “flex fields,” meaning they can be converted to become fields and courts for other sports, including football, soccer and more.
