Sphere Entertainment计划在华盛顿都会区建设其第二座美国场馆，延续拉斯维加斯项目的商业成功。新场馆将落址于马里兰州国家港，距美国首都约15分钟车程，可容纳6,000名观众。该项目由Sphere与马里兰州政府、乔治王子县以及Peterson Companies达成合作协议共同推进，标志着公司在美国本土的进一步扩张。

此次扩展建立在拉斯维加斯Sphere的强劲表现之上。该场馆于2023年启用，投资额达23亿美元，并凭借U2、老鹰乐队等长期驻演，跻身全球收入最高的演出场馆之列。在此基础上，公司正推动全球布局，除美国新项目外，还包括在阿布扎比建设新Sphere的计划。

国家港Sphere将是规模较小的版本，但技术规格仍然突出。场馆将配备16K分辨率显示系统，并结合沉浸式音响、触觉座椅和4D环境效果。该项目预计将获得约2亿美元的州、地方及私人激励资金。公司预计，该场馆每年可带来超过10亿美元的经济影响，显示出其在娱乐与区域经济层面的高回报预期。

Sphere Entertainment plans to build its second US venue in the Washington metropolitan area, building on the commercial success of its Las Vegas project. The new arena will be located in National Harbor, Maryland, about 15 minutes from the US capital, and will seat 6,000 people. The development is backed by an agreement with the State of Maryland, Prince George’s County, and Peterson Companies, signaling further domestic expansion.

The move follows the strong performance of the Las Vegas Sphere, which opened in 2023 with an investment of $2.3 billion. Driven by high-profile residencies from acts such as U2 and The Eagles, the venue has become one of the world’s top-grossing entertainment arenas. On the back of this success, the company is pursuing a broader global network, including plans for a Sphere venue in Abu Dhabi.

The National Harbor Sphere will be a smaller-format version but retain advanced technology. It will feature a 16K-resolution display along with immersive audio, haptic seating, and 4D environmental effects. The project is expected to receive about $200 million in state, local, and private incentives. Sphere Entertainment estimates the venue will generate more than $1 billion in annual economic impact, underscoring its anticipated scale and return.
