The city of Tacoma hopes to give the 30-year-old Tacoma Dome some pop by turning the arena’s 5-acre roof into an Andy Warhol painting.

Warhol submitted a giant, colorful flower design in a 1981 competition and lost, but it’s getting a second look.

City Arts Administrator Amy McBride says it would be “the world’s largest Warhol.”

The city plans to test the design using a plastic adhesive. They will then consider going for the $2 million paint job.

What do you think of the new design? Take our poll:
