Visit the Hodag Dome
< Previous photo 1 of 11 Next >
Entrance
Entrance

This is the main entrance.

< Previous photo 2 of 11 Next >
Lobby
Lobby
  • This is where the only bathrooms are located.
  • There will be another set of doors before you enter our lobby.
  • There will be a small ramp leading into the lobby.

< Previous photo 3 of 11 Next >
Entry
Entry

There are two ways to enter the dome; the rotating/spinning door or the double doors.

< Previous photo 4 of 11 Next >
Desk
Desk
  • This is the lobby. 
  • Dome staff will greet you, and you may have to check in at the desk.
< Previous photo 5 of 11 Next >
Rotating Door
Rotating Door
  • The rotating/spinning door will only move as fast as you push it; it is not automatic.
  • You will step inside and push the door towards the right as you walk.
  • One person at a time is best, but you can bring a friend if necessary.
  • It makes a noise as you push, and your ears might feel the pressure difference between the lobby and the dome. Sometimes plugging your ears helps.  It does not hurt.

Double Doors
Double Doors
  • Dome staff will help you through the double doors, if you choose.
  • It is very important that only one door is open at a time.  
  • Dome staff will open the door, you will move inside, and the door will close behind you.  
  • The next door will open, and you will move inside the dome.
  • The doors can be loud, but not always.

Inside the Dome
Inside the Dome
  • There will be a slight ramp down as you move inside. 
  • It is a little brighter in the dome, and you might hear noises from the doors behind you, as well as from people inside playing. 
  • At the bottom of the ramp, you will move onto a rubbery, slightly softer track.

Inside the Dome - Continued
Inside the Dome - Continued
  • You can continue straight on the track or move onto the green turf. Watch your step at the transitions. 
  • There will be a black net separating the track and the turf, with openings to cross between the two.
  • The turf feels similar to walking on grass, but it is artificial. 
  • You may notice tiny black rubber pellets in the turf (and sometimes inside your shoe), that helps it stand up like grass.

Dome Noise
Dome Noise
  • The dome can be loud and it sometimes echos.
  • You might hear others playing, the fans circulating the air, or pickleballs bouncing on the court.

Dome Lighting

It is a bright space with lighting and natural sunlight during the day.

Exiting the Dome

When it is time to leave, you will exit through the rotating/spinning door or the double doors just like you entered.
