2019-20. Domescape creates immersive ephemeral activations for underutilized stadiums, arenas, parks, and other venues. After winning the Synapse Design Challenge with the Rowdies and Rays Domescape worked closely with the Rays ,the City, and Mayors Office to explore viable options for Tropicana Field. Domescape showcases artists, professionals, unparalleled audio/visual experiences, and re-imagined venue atmospheres. Our immersive environments re-envision how one may experience music, arts, sports, and education through shared VR.

In 2019, " Domescape.io " in partnership with Vortex Immersion Media, offered to create what could have been the largest projection dome at that time. This was before the Sphere in Las Vegas even broke ground. The Idea that the dome could be retrofitted and optimized for various events would help the Rays phase out a new stadium build and reduce the sticker shock for the city and its tax payers.

Is a retrofit still the option for the RAYS ?
