Future versions of the Sphere will be considerably smaller than the one in Las Vegas when the franchise is expanded globally, the company’s top executive said Monday.
James Dolan, executive chairman and CEO of Sphere Entertainment Co., told investors in the company’s second-quarter earnings call that while future Sphere venues would still have all of the technology and content of the Las Vegas Sphere, new ones would have seating capacities in the 5,000 range instead of the 17,000 Las Vegas has.
“As far as expansion goes, beyond Abu Dhabi, we’re currently working on the architecture for a smaller sphere, which we think will be deployable to more markets,” Dolan said in response to an inquiry about expansion.
