Sphere announces intent to build venue at National Harbor in Maryland akin to Las Vegas facility

National Harbor to become second US location for Sphere, first to use smaller-scale venue design model, governor’s office announces

The second U.S. location for Sphere Entertainment will be built in Maryland, according to the governor’s office.

“Maryland has a long history of providing world-class entertainment and we could not be more excited to work with Sphere Entertainment to bring this cutting-edge project to life,” Gov. Wes Moore said in a statement. “This will be one of the largest economic development projects in Prince George’s County history – proving once again our state is the best place in the country to bring dreams to life. We’re excited for what this means for our people, and how it will showcase the best of what Maryland has to offer to everyone who visits.”

Perhaps well-known for its venue in Las Vegas, Sphere Entertainment and the state announced Sunday night the intent to develop a new, smaller-scale Sphere venue at National Harbor in Prince George’s County with a 6,000-seat capacity.

“Our focus has always been on creating a global network of Spheres across forward-looking cities,” James Dolan, executive chairman and CEO of Sphere Entertainment, said in a statement. “Sphere is a new experiential medium. With a commitment to bringing innovative opportunities to residents and visitors, Gov. Moore, (Prince George’s) County Executive (Aisha) Braveboy, the state of Maryland, and Prince George’s County recognize the potential for a Sphere at National Harbor to elevate and advance immersive experiences across the area.”
