The Dome at Crown Perth (originally the Burswood Superdome and formerly the Burswood Dome) was a multi-purpose indoor arena used for sports and entertainment. The dome was 8,800 square metres (95,000 sq ft) in size, with seating for 13,600 people. The whole arena was pressurised so that the fibreglass roof was suspended 35 metres (115 ft) above the ground.[1]

It was a venue for indoor sports, notably the Hopman Cup tennis tournament from 1989 until 2012, which was moved to the Perth Arena for the 2013 and future events, and for pop music concerts.
