The Mini-Dome, site of the AMA Indoor Nats/US Indoor Championships is
located at East Tennessee State University in Johnson City, TN (USA). It
is located on State of Franklin Road. It has been known as the Mini-Dome
for a long time. The US Indoor Championships has been held there since
1987 so this is the 25th year. Two indoor world championships were also
held there in 1988 and 1990.

It is now labeled on the West end as MSHA center so Mountain States
Health Alliance is providing some sponsorship.
