Being a West Coast guy, I don't have an answer.

The only dome that could be used is Syracuse.

A number of people have commented on how trying to 

use it would be a logistical nightmare for the corps.

Plus the location ,i.e. travel time. would not be attractive to the majority of fans that go to Allentown every year.

 

 

 

 

There is no dome

The jockeying is on for a new home for the Washington Commanders but between the jurisdiction issues and what not, it's not certain what form it'll be.  The assumption is that it would be a dome because Dan Synder's ego wants to rival the JerryDome.

I don't follow sports but I would not be surprised at all if there was a real arena called the "JerryDome". Sports dudes can have massive egos sometimes

it's used for Dallas' stadium.  Not the official name. JerryWorld is the other one used for it.  DC's would be DannyDome as some are calling it.  Most of DC residents are like "Virginia can have it" but the mayor here wants it...sigh.  Maryland's lege is pretty much done with Dan Snyder though.

If I had won that billion dollar lottery jackpot, I would have a purpose-built DCI venue constructed somewhere on the east coast. Acoustically structured specifically for marching arts competitions (and exhibitions), covered (or indoors, if they can get it to sound "just like outdoors"), plenty of room for warmups and staging, and ample parking and seating for 30+ thousand.

But I didn't. So I'm not. Sorry folks.

How about 4 venues? Texas, East Coast, Midwest and Cali? I think that’s a good compromise that would please the most people? Good suggestion though, 30,000 seater, along with the amenities is plenty good for a DCI venue👀

I am not a football fan in the first place. So everything that team inflicts on their fans is mildly amusing to me.
