Many of the new arenas are too large to fit in the Monolithic Domes. The Crenosphere has the ability to span the larger arenas and stadiums for a very reasonable cost per square foot. This is for spans from 300 feet in diameter to 1000 feet in diameter. It is always clear span. This allows total flexibility on the inside.
Designs can include partially burying the dome at minimal costs to the structure.
The building can support many point loads weighing several tons each. Simplicity is the Key. The design of the Crenosphere is for huge buildings. But concept and resultant structure is very simple. The unique construction allows greater flexibility in the construction schedule.
