A corruption of the word, kaleidoscope, Norfolk’s Scope was opened in 1971 as a sports complex. When it opened, it was the second largest public building in the Commonwealth behind the Pentagon. Designed by Italian architect Pier Luigi Nervi in conjunction with local firm Williams and Tazewell, at the time it was built was the largest dome of its kind in the world measuring 440 ft in diameter and 110 ft in height. Today, the venue hosts concerts, sporting events, Tattoos, Circuses, and is home to the Norfolk Admirals.
