Springfield just became home to a record-breaking addition: the largest air-supported sports dome on the planet.

Spanning 190,000 square feet, the new Springfield Clinic Sports Dome at Scheels Sports Park supports year-round play for soccer, baseball, softball, basketball, volleyball and even pickleball. The dome itself reaches more than 710 feet long, 275 feet wide and 98 feet high at its peak.

But what you won’t see from the outside is the powerful foundation beneath it, built by O’Shea.

Through O’Shea Builders’ Mentor-Protégé Partnership, our team works alongside owners of minority-owned, construction-related businesses to help them position their businesses for success. Our recent partnership with Solid Ground Solutions, a minority-owned general contracting, demolition and construction cleaning company, highlights the benefits of this program.

At O’Shea, our word -- or our promise - is how we measure our work and ourselves. It’s a value that originated with Bud O’Shea’s grandfather and O’Shea founder, John Timothy O’Shea, more than 100 years ago. He started the business in 1900 when he listed himself in the Springfield City Directory as a “contractor.”
