Welcome to the Hodag Dome!

Welcome to the Hodag Dome, the largest air-supported high school dome in the nation! It offers 128,000+ square feet of space to be used by our students, our student athletes, our community, and visitors to our area.

The Hodag Dome houses a full size turf football field, a soccer pitch, and two regulation size softball or youth baseball fields, or four futsal fields. Additionally, the dome has four tennis courts that are also lined for pickleball, a six lane 100m straight track, a community walking area, batting cages, golf simulators, and sports court flooring that can accommodate basketball or volleyball.

Click here to check out our Facebook page or stop by for a tour.  The Dome is located at 863 Hodag Dome Drive, Rhinelander, WI.
