An Inflatable Sports Dome Is Proposed for Boggy Creek Road, Just South of Lake Nona
A developer wants to bring a 145,000-square-foot indoor sports dome to 29 acres next to Tohopekaliga High School, about a mile from the Austin-Tindall Sports Complex. The concept heads to an early review with Osceola County next week, joining a growing list of proposals along the Boggy Creek Road corridor.

What to Know
The Boggy Creek sports dome in brief
An indoor sports concept that has surfaced in two other markets is now aiming for south Osceola County, between Lake Nona and Kissimmee.
A 145,000 sq ft dome. The plan pairs the inflatable dome with an 18,000-square-foot welcome center, an outdoor multi-use field and parking for up to 1,000 vehicles.
29 acres on Boggy Creek Road. Two parcels on Gus Road sit next to Tohopekaliga High School, just south of Lake Nona and about a mile from Austin-Tindall.
Very early stage. A pre-application meeting with the county’s Development Review Committee is scheduled for next week. No approvals or timeline have been announced.
All Sports Dome Southeast LLC is proposing an inflatable indoor sports complex on 29 acres along Boggy Creek Road in Osceola County, next to Tohopekaliga High School and just south of Lake Nona. The concept pairs a 145,000-square-foot dome with an 18,000-square-foot welcome center, an outdoor multi-use field and parking for up to 1,000 vehicles.
CEO Kevin Dattola is set to sit down with Osceola County’s Development Review Committee next week for a pre-application meeting. That is the informal first conversation with county staff before a formal application is filed, so the plan is still a concept rather than an approved project.
What is planned for the Boggy Creek Road site?
The conceptual site plan splits the project across two parcels. The larger one, at 3070 Gus Road and roughly 20 acres, holds the dome, the welcome center and most of the parking, with a preserve and wetland area kept along its eastern edge. The smaller parcel, at 3060 Gus Road and roughly 9 acres, fronts Boggy Creek Road and carries the outdoor field along with additional parking.
Traffic would enter through a small roundabout beside the welcome center. Existing large-lot homes sit to the west, and the high school’s baseball diamonds, track and fields sit directly next door to the south and east.

Why would a sports dome land on Boggy Creek Road?
Location near an established sports venue appears to be the strategy. The site is about a mile from the Austin-Tindall Sports Complex, the county’s 215-acre venue at 4100 Boggy Creek Road with nine fields, including a lighted multi-use stadium. Over the last year, the complex drew nearly 720,000 visitors and generated about 86,000 hotel room nights.
The developer’s earlier Central Florida pitch followed the same pattern. That site in Sanford sat within a mile of Seminole County’s Boombah Sports Complex. A covered venue next to a cluster of outdoor fields gives tournament organizers, leagues and training programs a place to play regardless of summer heat or afternoon storms.
Has this developer proposed a dome in Central Florida before?
Yes. In 2024, Dattola proposed a similar dome on E Lake Mary Boulevard in Sanford. Early this year he said publicly that the Sanford project was still moving ahead despite litigation involving an early investor. The city’s acting planning director now says there is no active project of that kind in Sanford.
Much of this year appears to have gone toward a version near Atlanta in Fayetteville, Georgia, where Dattola announced partnerships with a turf company, a lacrosse league and a kickball organization. He could not be reached for comment on the Osceola County plan.
The proposal by the numbers
The figures show the scale of the concept and the sports traffic already on this stretch of Boggy Creek Road.

What else is planned along Boggy Creek Road?
The dome is not the only proposal on this stretch. In May, a representative for four property owners held a pre-application meeting on a 15-acre mixed-use assemblage directly across from Austin-Tindall. The two-phase concept includes an anchor retail store, inline shops and restaurants, a 140-room hotel, office space and residential condos, organized around a central plaza with a pool, a park and green space.
The hotel would sit closest to the sports complex. Together with the dome, these two proposals point to a corridor that developers increasingly see as a sports and hospitality destination rather than simply a commuter route between Lake Nona and Kissimmee.
What happens next for the sports dome?
Next week’s meeting is the starting line. After a pre-application review, a project still needs a formal application, site plan review and county approvals before any construction can be scheduled. No timeline, budget or construction start has been announced, and the layout could change as the county weighs in.
A light real estate read
For this part of south Osceola County, the takeaway is less about one building and more about direction. The stretch of Boggy Creek Road between Lake Nona and Austin-Tindall now has two separate sports-adjacent proposals in the pipeline within a few months of each other.
For nearby homes, the details worth watching are practical: how the county handles event-day traffic on Boggy Creek Road, and how the final site plan treats its edges. The concept keeps a preserve and wetland area on the east side, while the large-lot homes to the west sit closest to the parking and entry.
The Takeaway
A 145,000-square-foot inflatable sports dome is the latest idea aimed at Boggy Creek Road, placed about a mile from a county sports complex that already draws hundreds of thousands of visitors a year. It is a concept, not an approval, and Sanford officials say the same developer’s earlier pitch there is no longer an active project.
Watch next week’s pre-application meeting and whether a formal application follows. Paired with the mixed-use and hotel plan across from Austin-Tindall, it shows how much attention this corridor is getting.
