The Seattle Kingdome, officially known as the "King County Domed Stadium", and usually referred to as simply "The Kingdome" or "The Dome", was a multi-purpose domed stadium owned and operated by King County, Washington, located at the north end of Seattle's Industrial District, just south of Pioneer Square. Completed in 1976 on reclaimed tideflat land formerly occupied by the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway's freight yards, it was demolished on March 26, 2000. The implosion of the Kingdome was the first live event ever covered by ESPN Classic. Qwest Field now occupies the site.

Teams that used the Kingdome as home field included the NFL's Seattle Seahawks, MLB's Seattle Mariners and the NBANBA redirects here, as it is the most common usage of the abbreviation; for more uses, see NBA (disambiguation). The National Basketball Association of the United States and Canada, commonly known as the NBA is the premier professional basketball league i's Seattle SuperSonics.
