Scope Arena

Built in 1971, architect Pier Luigi Nervi designed Scope Arena and to this day the venue remains the world’s largest reinforced thin-shell concrete dome. The venue’s concrete monolithic dome and twenty-four flying buttresses make it a popular, eye-catching and iconic landmark in downtown Norfolk. Scope Arena is the host to a wide variety of events and is currently home to the Norfolk Admirals hockey team, the MEAC Basketball Tournament, conventions, concerts, family shows and much more!
