The hard-built structure will remain the same size as originally proposed, but the dome will grow from 68,400 square feet to 72,000 square feet in area. A day-care facility was also approved for the site at the May hearing.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_22175\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shorebeat.com\/brick\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/dome_11-scaled.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-1\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22175\" class=\"size-large wp-image-22175\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shorebeat.com\/brick\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/dome_11-1024x571.jpg\" alt=\"Renderings of the newly-approved final design of the Brick 'Superdome' site, May 2023.
