MSG Entertainment CEO James Dolan is moving forward with an ambitious expansion plan for Sphere—the iconic immersive entertainment venue. Following the success of the original Sphere in Las Vegas, the company is now targeting the Washington, DC area for its second location.

This expansion signals growing confidence in the Sphere model as a next-generation destination combining cutting-edge technology, entertainment, and unique user experiences. The Washington, DC venue would position Sphere closer to the nation's capital and tap into a massive metropolitan market eager for innovative entertainment alternatives.

The move reflects broader momentum in building out decentralized and immersive digital infrastructure across major U.S. markets—a trend gaining traction in Web3 and entertainment sectors alike.

Spherical venues copied to Washington, D.C.—is this what they call "decentralized infrastructure"? Honestly, it's still a centralized real estate game.

nah look, dolan's playing the real estate arbitrage game here—empirically speaking, one viral venue doesn't mean the model scales. dc's a whole different beast than vegas tourists tbh. let me explain why this "decentralized infrastructure" framing is fundamentally flawed... they're just building expensive imax theaters lol

The sphere is expanding again, this time targeting DC... But is the one in Las Vegas really worth it?

It's just another wealthy investor throwing money into a project, a spec bubble.

Bro, Sphere is burning money in DC. Are they planning to move the leek field from Las Vegas to Washington? Truly imaginative. --- Another investment target wrapped in a Web3 concept, still "decentralized." Do they even know whether their funding chain is clear in their minds? --- Basically, it's a toy for the rich, using "immersive" banners to cut a wave after wave. I understand this logic too well. --- How much could that piece of land in DC be worth? I bet five cents that this project will raise funds a hundred times within three years. --- With technology becoming so competitive, why boast about the next-generation experience? Isn't it just bigger screens and brighter lights? A new trick to numb the leeks. --- Old Ma knows the way. I've seen this routine too many times in the crypto world: first hype the concept, then raise funds, and finally... never mind, I won't curse anyone.
