201 E Brambleton AvenueBuilt in 1971, architect Pier Luigi Nervi designed Scope Arena and to this day the venue remains the world’s largest reinforced thin-shell concrete dome.
The venue’s concrete monolithic dome and twenty-four flying buttresses make it a popular, eye-catching and iconic landmark in downtown Norfolk. Scope Arena is the host to a wide variety of events and is currently home to the Norfolk Admirals hockey team, the MEAC Basketball Tournament, conventions, concerts, family shows and much more! Scope consists of a flexible main arena, modular exhibit halls and meeting rooms that can accommodate both small and large groups for private meetings, exhibits or conventions.
