I gotta be honest, I'm not sure what was expected? They spent $2b building this thing, it's brand new tech, it didn't host many shows last quarter (it was open for 1? full month of the quarter).

I still think The Sphere is super damn cool and I can't wait to go to an event there.

> The New York Post reported Tuesday that Ranji suddenly quit after a bout of yelling and screaming from CEO James Dolan.

Been there done that and you don’t have to put up with abusive behavior like this in 2023. Good on him for leaving. Didn’t know Dolan had spread his dysfunction and entitled rich boy show to the desert also.

The loss seems surprisingly low, considering the cost of building the thing.

I don't expect this to end up like Brand-Briesen Airfield, or other massive buildings built and quickly sold at bankruptcy, anytime soon.

Yeah if this was a stock, I’d be buying it today. The thing is great.
