The GA area is insanely small! Apart from the odd promo show they often play, this must be the smallest standing area for one of their shows in a very, very long time?

GA will be small but roomy due to fire codes. I am so looking forward to the hang back.
The stage does look not look too high in this brief video snippet (ahem); the barrier isn’t way below the stage level.
The good news is the people that paid for the front row of that raised (permanent) 100s section will not have anyone in GA blocking their view.
It will be interesting to see Bono constrained to a small main stage for an entire show.

that's a good point. it's as if he's stuck on the "e" stage of i/e for the entire show. certainly this one's a little bigger - but this is the smallest amount of space he's had to work with in forever.
shit - it's the first time they haven't had any sort of ramp or b-stage since before ZooTV

If nothing else, he’ll probably be concentrating more on his singing? The Surrender shows benefited from that.

perhaps. gotta focus more on the singing when you're playing achtung baby in full in the style of Songs of Surrender

I did wonder if the stage
would do something in terms of moving, or there's a hidden element for a "b-stage" of some sort, but looking at that, the only way is up! There's just no room for anything else.
I guess robots could lift up the stage. Before they kill everyone in the GA line.

What was the premise of the wager?

he said that he'd bet anyone a dollar that the stage shown in Aronofsky's IG previews was the same one the band was using.

we have one person who is adamant that the eyeball shaped stage from Aronofky's videos is the same one shown in this new one today... and another person who is proclaiming that Bono is actually in a green screen studio and not actually inside the Sphere in the video.

the green screen guy is now also offering to bet people that he's right.

Just lost an incalculable amount of brain cells reading the "professional" video guy claim Bono is on a green screen in a CGI Sphere.

He's a professional, people! He does this for a living!

there's a green screen studio on my floor. i'm considering going down there and taking a photo from inside and telling the guy that it's where i filmed the fake Bono video just to fuck with him.
Let’s ignore the reflections in Bono’s glasses for a moment and ask why would they film in a controllable studio setting and Bono would still look completely blown out? I’m sure a professional would have an answer…

Interference is actually just a blue screen, guys.

Less than a month before opening night, Mr. Dolan sat in his office, sipping matcha tea from an INY mug. “Across the entire organization, the anxiety level is geometrically increasing,” he said. At the top of that pyramid? “That’s me.”
That day’s headache involved the Sphere’s Wi-Fi system; it was glitching and would require the installation of boosters.
But there was plenty going right too. The next two musical acts to perform in residency at the Sphere had been booked. “Big names,” Mr. Dolan said but would not specify.
