Predominately used for soccer, the facility stands 25.6 m (84 ft) tall and features a FieldTurf CORE artificial turf playing surface that covers 12,541 m2 (134,990 sq ft), making it the largest sports dome in Canada. Construction on the dome began in October 2017 at a cost of CA$7 million, officially opening in October 2018.
Along with its primary tenant Edmonton Scottish SC, the dome also served as the pre-season training facility for the former Canadian Premier League club FC Edmonton and as a temporary home for the ACAC's NAIT Ooks during the replacement of NAIT station. In addition to the facility and its grounds being named in the United 2026 FIFA World Cup bid as a potential team base camp in 2018, the dome has most notably hosted La Liga squad Real Valladolid, the Canadian men's national team, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
