Chick-Fil-A to open at Tacoma Dome in WA
A fan-favorite chicken restaurant will soon have a spot in the Tacoma Dome.
TACOMA, Wash. - Fans of Chick-fil-A will soon be able to enjoy the popular fast-food chain at the Tacoma Dome, as the venue introduces a new concession stand in time for an upcoming dance music event on April 4-5.
Tammi Bryant, deputy director of marketing, business development, and programming for Tacoma Venues & Events, confirmed the addition to FOX 13 Seattle, noting that the concession stand will follow the company’s tradition of closing on Sundays.
The Chick-fil-A stand will be part of a broader effort to enhance food and beverage options at the venue, which has hosted major concerts and sporting events since opening in 1983.
Venue upgrades and security enhancements
Dig deeper:
In addition to the new Chick-fil-A stand, the Tacoma Dome is implementing several upgrades this year, including the installation of 4,000 feet of perimeter security fencing. Bryant said the fencing project follows recommendations from the Department of Homeland Security to enhance safety at large entertainment venues.
According to city permit filings obtained by the Tacoma News Tribune, the new fencing will be eight-foot, anti-climb wire mesh with pedestrian and vehicle gates, featuring custom canopy structures at key entrances.
Other improvements planned for the Tacoma Dome in 2025
Guests who visit the Tacoma Dome for events and concerts in 2025 will also experience enhancements to the venue's Wi-Fi and cell service along with the completion of a sensory room.
Other new improvements include new sports scoreboards, which recently debuted at the WIAA Basketball tournament, and additional stage equipment for event productions.
A growing presence in the Pacific Northwest
Local perspective:
The addition of Chick-fil-A to the Tacoma Dome underscores the brand’s growing footprint in the Pacific Northwest. Known for its signature chicken sandwiches, waffle fries and customer service, Chick-fil-A continues to expand in the region, both through traditional restaurant locations and partnerships with major entertainment venues.
The new Chick-fil-A stand is expected to be a welcome addition for attendees looking for a quick and familiar meal during events.
