will believe it when I see it

and talk about a target

Hack into that shit and put some wild shit on them monitors


and a sphere? seems fragile and I wonder how thick the walls will be to support all of that tech

I prefer outdoor concerts myself

spheres are weak structures? looks like a large arch to me, and I thought arches are immensely strong when constructed correctly

It will be really cool when the upcoming event is promoted
You can see a huge band or UFC logo projected or even a band concert video or highlights of a fighter

No a sphere is very strong

But this is made up of many diff materials and I just can't personally picture it at the moment


The mock up concept drawings don't show much of the actual construction beneath the screens/monitors...I am thinking the walls of sphere or arch will have to be twenty feet thick or so for strength and maintenance.

I don't doubt it is possible at all I just think it may look quite a bit diff from the drawings.

yeah good points. I just google searched dome buildings and there is a lot of variety, I'm sure it will be great.

I think the screens will be lightweight too given the advancements in that field, I'd be surprised if the structure is not almost entirely made out of metals and plastics.



the way you're describing it makes me think of the cover over chernobyl lol

thanks for images

dome in first image is probably 6 or 7 feet thick(glass and walkway not just glass) and has no outer shell/screen and no inner screen/monitors

and that dome is much smaller

The arch that supports that dome provides me an image of what it will take to build this new venue...I imagine ten or 12 or more of those arches to support the new venue and a thin screen around it as an outer shell...so I still think 15 feet to 20 feet thick sounds right

I think it sounds great...although I don't think all the screenage is needed but I am old school as far as bells and whistles goes for events and effects

The top image also looks to have load bearing in the center of it and that makes the arch be able to be smaller...so these arches will likely be monstrous and everything built around it

Chernobyl dome actually looks rather thin for its time period if you look past the doors/jagged triangles on the front an back...looks about 15-20 feet thick(hard to tell for sure)...pretty dope engineering

yeah that first dome was a bad example, it has a central support running up the middle (presumably) I just think they are likely to keep the outer/inner shell relatively thin, and they should be able to get the screens and the wiring inside the frame and then fit the glass on the outside and a lighter plastic material on the inside. The big issue is the weight of the screens, if it's negligible then they won't need it to be any stronger than various other domes, especially as there won't be any walkways (except for maintenance?)

quite a building for sure...bet you could have a helluva concert in there

I am assuming these screens will be big and curved?

Round or curved construction is the most expensive kind...corners are easy and curves are hard and expensive

I love architecture, I often find myself just looking around at how amazing and random our towns and cities are. I have no doubts they will build this dome but I have a strong feeling I'll never get to enjoy it first hand. I hope I'm wrong.

I like old architecture...but new stuff is also impressive

Also, I am guessing they might re-coup money but using the outer screen as a way to advertise.
that is an insanely cool billboard

That's a crazy project to get done in 2 years. I wonder how much juice that thing will suck up to stay powered? Seems like a cool idea for a tourist attraction because it has that see it to believe it quality.
