Unlike most other arenas of its size, the arena contains little in the way of fixed seating, so as to maximize the flexibility of the seating arrangements and the shape of the playing field. The wood which was used to make the roof came from trees that were downed in the 1980 eruption of Mount St. It is the largest arena with a wooden dome in the world by volume (the Superior Dome in Marquette, Michigan, is a larger-diameter geodesic dome at 536 feet (163 m), but is 143 feet (44 m) high and seats a maximum of 16,000). At 530 feet (160 m) in diameter and 152 feet (46 m) in height, the arena seats 20,722 for basketball games, with a maximum capacity of 21,000. Upon winning an international design competition, local architects McGranahan and Messenger completed the Tacoma Dome at a cost of $44 million it opened on April 21, 1983.
