ETX EVENT:

Sphere has an outdoor high-resolution LED screen that will encompass 580,000 square feet & surround the circular structure.

The interior of the 366-foot-tall spherical structure will have a 160,000 foot LED screen that will surround the audience. The screen, which is larger than three football fields, will be enhanced by more than 164,000 individual speakers.

The building will include 17,500 permanent seats rising five levels with a standing-room capacity of 20,000 for entertainment performances, concert residences, and sporting events such as boxing.

U2 is likely to be one of the first to perform.

Over the past year, Greg Kahn has spoken often about the convergence of physical and digital experiences. After COVID lockdowns, there is pent up demand to gather in communities at music venues, sporting events, restaurants, malls and theaters.

MSG Sphere ups the ante for what's possible.

Thanks to Lucas Watson and Michael Rucker for inviting us to experience this first-hand.
