Management Transition
After many years under private management, the City of West St. Paul is in the process of transitioning management of the WSP Dome to the City Parks Department. As we make this transition, we want to hear from residents and users about how we can improve the Dome's use, appearance, and functionality. At this time, no changes to pricing, reservation processes, or hours of operation are planned. We appreciate SFDMG for their years of support and management of the Dome.
To share your thoughts on how we can improve the Dome, take this community survey or contact Eric Weiss, Director of Parks & Recreation, at eweiss@wspmn.gov.
About the Dome
The dome or Regional Athletics Center (RAC) opened in early November 2012. The RAC is a multi-purpose facility for soccer, lacrosse, softball, football, and other indoor play. It is open for walking, jogging, open play, rentals, and occasional programs and events.
Dome Fun Facts:
- At 454 feet long and 244 feet wide, the dome has over 110,000 square feet of space
- Over 18 million pounds of concrete form the 9-foot-tall, 2-foot-thick base walls
- Almost 5 million cubic feet of pressurized air support the dome
- 175 tons of pulverized tires create the turf infill
- One lap around the dome is about ¼ mile
- In addition to renters, over 35,000 people use the dome for walking, jogging, and play each year
Rent the Facility
The dome is available for rent on a first-come, first-served basis. Last-minute and late-night rentals are subject to staff availability.
