You can’t even imagine how amazing it really is. In the beginning I wasn’t intrigued. Got to see all the testing that has been going on. It’s astounding.

[@alexgataric]

I bought tickets for U2 and postcards from Earth as soon as possible. I can't wait to see all this tech in person.

[@paulsmith9341]

This seems incredible. Lol, I lived in Vegas most of my adult life. Of course they build this, legalize pot and put in a White Castle after l moved to Chicago!

[@Jack-tk1is]

Why would u willingly move to Chicago

[@Soup_of_goop]

White Castle sucks sorry

[@Kroitk]

They were waiting for you to move out of there first before glowing up, duh

[@jerrytroy2677]

You're welcome

[@paulsmith9341]

@@Jack-tk1is My father in law was in a bad way physically and all my brothers in law are assholes. We sold our house and moved near to him. He passed about 3 years later. We miss somethings but we're comfortable and we still have some family here. Now I'm missing El Pollo Loco, In N Out and all the little taco joints scattered around the valley.

[@Druck86]

I cannot wait to see U2 in December here.

[@jsmit5635]

Josh: It’s spherical, SPHERICAL!!

[@NOE1R1VERA]

The 4d and audio looks crazy wish to visit this one day.

[@Alpha67Wolf]

Now I have a reason to go to Las Vegas!~ My friends keep asking me to go to LV with them for years but I'm a homebody and not a gambler. This thing is jaw dropping to watch on the little screen and I couldn't imagine seeing it in person. If one of the goals for the MSG Sphere was to get people to go to LV that normally wouldn't go... MISSION ACCOMPLISHED !~

[@danmar007]

A monosodium glutamate sphere? Who would have thought?

[@jezza6575]

Can’t wait for their soundbar to hit the market!

[@wyntoncolter1067]

Amazing to see the technical aspect of the Sphere. It looks so unreal but that coverage I have seen only makes me wonder about how it will be utilized in future days upon its official release.

[@SpookyFears]

There gonna gain there 2.5 billion dollars back 10× time more

[@axezazel]

That dome is amazing

[@dennistucker1153]

I think the Sphere will be a great venue for lot of things. It is sooo damn expensive.

[@Doni_doni]

The UAE must be pissed off that they didn't come up with this idea first

[@hungrydan]

Most of the U2 tickets are OVER $200-$300

[@verifactsofficial]

An engineering marvel❤

[@ayaazthaliph2108]

Amazing piece of tech

[@AEYEWOLF]

Looks awesome

[@carlostavaresjr958]

The tech is on par with my animated lightshow I do with 12v ws2811 pixels!

[@user-rd9kb6ox1v]

Amazing!!

[@verticalgambit]

The audio tech from the video reminds me of The Daniel Suarez book Daemon.

[@EyesOfByes]

So...Are they gonna hire Nolan for an IMAX Dome film?

[@josephpiskac2781]

The Hubin H Fleet Space Theater of our time.

[@crackasmilezenpyre7901]

I think it’s awesome. I actually thought this up years ago and people told me it was impossible. Ha. SMH now.

[@user-gk5wi5zo1q]

I will be there opening night for Postcard from Earth. I am very excited to see this.

[@chrisholiday775]

bRING BRITNEY BACK FOR THE FIRST SHOW

[@Tha1NonlySan]

Wow! Just wow!😮 Stunning!

[@AEYEWOLF]

Nunchaku or Nunchucks on the shelf behind him

[@SavvySavant]

That building is U.A.E worthy...

[@UserInterface00]

When you put it into perspective, this spherical arena cost more than the 100,000 person capacity, Dallas Cowboy Stadium (Jerry World) and you can fit at least 10 of these eyeballs inside there lol.

[@EMELEN]

STAR WARS DAY! - DEATH STAR 🤩

[@madson_assuncao]

Muito louco 😮

[@notpinoy]

MSG? Monosodium Glutamate?

[@delkor007]

Madison Square Garden

[@JulianCrypto]

Let's go live on YT together

[@DerelicteMB]

I think I saw something like this in one of the burning man videos.

[@landshass2849]

1:28 It's always confusing which flag represents Arabic language because it's the official language of 21 countries. I'd rather use the Arab league flag.

[@davidmarsden7800]

Sadly at will not work for long HEAT people HEAT!!!

[@jamiewills2713]

Drove by twice yesterday. It was off both times. Only on certain times. Not sure of times. Disappointed!

[@marcofenix6388]

Wayyy much better than amazon so boring overly expensive sphere in seattle... 🤮🤮🤮

[@javier3429]

🤯

[@K8alifa]

2Bn?

[@M33t]

Jesus is coming and I'm more excited about that, than this . Much love

[@Kalibz3]

Truest comment I’ve seen!! I’m with you!!! I’m looking forward to Jesus return than anything this wicked world has to offer…I guess ppl haven’t seen the movie the day the earth stood still ….it’s the same sphere that’s in that movie they’ve been putting things in our face all this time smh…Hopefully mankind repent of their sins before it’s to late 🙏🏽

[@SoCalFreelance]

I don't see a viable way for them to get their money back.

[@clintfink1036]

Could have got a better band.

[@Keekster19]

first!!

[@deplant5998]

It’s not a sphere.

[@Ghostintheeshell]

More dome but sphere works for marketing purposes, imo.

[@jezza6575]

We don’t know what’s below ground! Besides, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.😂

[@vj.joseph]

Such a waste.

[@elcocoreyes]

U2??? WTF? Over rated musicians
