I think it was Mike Mussina (Pro baseball player from Montoursville) and Blaise Alexander were the major partners when it was first built. It has since been sold. Not sure who exactly owns it now. I think the new YMCA behind it has something to do with its operations now as well. I like how Channel 28 reported that the "snow and ice isn't believed to have played a part in the collapse." Huh?!?  It came down once before. Can't remember the cause then but there was damage that had to be repaired before it could be re-inflated. We used it many times for soccer and you could see where the material was patched from the first collapse. |

Thanks Todd. Is this the same area that has the swimming pool that is open to seniors for swimming? I don't think the pool is in this particular structure, but thee building behind it. I've never been in any of the buildings/structures.

Correct. The Y and the pool is a separate building behind the dome.
