Rain, lightning, intense heat, or inclement weather of any type will not stop the show inside a Monolithic Dome baseball field. Is there one built? No. Why not? Well, money seems to be the main hurdle. It takes a lot of money to build a building large enough for a grand-slammer to really knock a ball and not hit it into the structure; but it is possible. A 500-600 foot Crenosphere can be built to house a full-size baseball facility with ample seating, concessions, adequate height, great sound acoustics, and best of all a climate-controlled atmosphere. |

Your local High School or community college can now afford an indoor football stadium! A Monolithic Dome Indoor Stadium/Field house can be built for about the same amount of money as an outdoor football stadium. |

When it comes to construction and operating costs, disaster resistance and durability, no other structure can currently compete with a Monolithic Dome. They make great practice or competition gyms, arenas and multipurpose buildings. |

The Monolithic Dome has no competition when it comes to an auxiliary gym or multipurpose center. By purchasing a pre-planned Monolithic Dome practice gym, you are buying the very best structure available for the money. A Monolithic Dome will pay for itself over twenty years of energy savings. It has a lifetime measured in centuries. It cannot be burned and most importantly, it serves as a disaster shelter during potentially catastrophic events such as, tornados, earthquakes, or hurricanes.

After receiving a Monolithic Dome School packet via snail mail, Marsha Norman, Superintendent of Beggs ISD in Beggs, Oklahoma gathered a few school board members and headed to Italy, Texas to discuss building options with David South and tour nearby Monolithic Dome gymnasiums and homes. |

|
The Monolithic Dome can be built up to 1,000' diameter, making the
sky the limit on arena use, size and seating capacity.

David South, Monolithic's president, thinks arena
football's popularity will continue growing. "And," he said, "the
Monolithic Dome or Crenosphere, depending on how much seating you
want, is the perfect structure for it."

Once the 2000 residents of Italy,Texas passed a $2 million bond
for a Multipurpose Center, administrators began researching popular
construction of school facilities. Superintendent Mike Clifton said,
“... we visited Thousand Oaks
— a dome already operating — and we came away convinced.”
|
|
|
 |
"Research, research, research -- that's what it took to find just
the right spectator seating for Italy
High's new multipurpose dome," says Monolithic President David
B. South. "But all that research paid off."

Picture this: 236 acres of gently rolling land, shaded by tall
oaks, cooled by breezes wafting over a glittering pool and creek,
and positively oozing beauty and serenity. That’s the site of the
summer camp facility and retreat center near Barry, Texas.

A semi-elliptical in shape, 143' in diameter and 45' in height

noisy Dallas.
