Sports World Bubble Collapses in East Windsor

Bubble comes down under weight of snow early Saturday morning, according to owner.

The Sports World bubble in East Windsor collapsed Saturday night from this weekend's heavy snowfall, according to owner Michael Fioretti.

No one was injured from the collapse, Fioretti said.

Fioretti said that a representative of the company that manufactures the bubbles will be on site Tuesday to assess the damage.


Sports World opened in East Windsor in 2004. The weather-protected bubble has three synthetic turf fields that accommodate sports such as lacrosse, football, soccer, baseball, softball and Frisbee.

It is not the only sports bubble to have collapsed as a result of the weekend’s storm that dumped between 2 and 3 feet of snow on the area.

The Star Hill Athletic Facility’s sports bubble also collapsed on Saturday. That weather-protected bubble contained basketball courts, volleyball courts, turf field and an indoor track.
