Issaquah, WALocal News

Chick-fil-A is preparing to open a concession stand at the Tacoma Dome, coinciding with an anticipated dance music event on April 4-5. Tammi Bryant, deputy director of marketing for Tacoma Venues & Events, confirmed that the stand will follow the chain's tradition of closing on Sundays, a policy that aligns with its brand values. This addition is part of a larger effort to enhance the venue's food and beverage options, which have been a staple since the dome's opening in 1983. Alongside the new stand, significant upgrades are underway, including the installation of 4,000 feet of perimeter security fencing recommended by the Department of Homeland Security. The fencing will be eight feet tall, made of anti-climb wire mesh, and will feature custom canopies at key entrances for improved security.

Other planned improvements for 2025 include enhanced Wi-Fi and cell service, a sensory room, and new sports scoreboards. The arrival of Chick-fil-A highlights the brand's expanding footprint in the Pacific Northwest, catering to local fans who enjoy its signature offerings. With these developments, the Tacoma Dome aims to provide a more enjoyable experience for attendees at concerts and events.
