In 10 years this thing may very well be near abandoned and doing the same thing countless underfunded planetariums around the US have been doing for years to get some cash and stay operating.

I’m sure the billionaires who invested in this are very pleased. Imprisoning U2 in the ForeverBall turned out to be worth it.
They can only be freed with the united powers of the REO’s Speeedwagon, the Led Zeppelin, Roger Water’s pig balloon, and the clouds that Jodi Mitchell was looking at that gave her an understanding of life, the universe, and everything.
MWAHAHAHA!!!
They wanted to build one in London. We told them to fuck off.
Kind of, the central government did this in response to Mayor of London Sadiq Khan:
In December 2023, Gove used his powers to “call in” Khan’s rejection of the project, overturning the Mayor’s rejection and turning the final decision to DLUHC ministers.
But the project did withdraw anyway:
However, in January 2024, MSG wrote to the Planning Inspectorate officially withdrawing its plans for the project.
I suspect it has more to do with London being left by advertisers right now. A few years back the tube had all the advert slots filled, always. Today, the advert slots are usually half filled and it’s been like that for years. I expected it to change after COVID lockdowns ended, but it has persisted all the way until now.
Wait it’s just an Ad?
Always was.
For the local tv station, no less.
Dead & Co just announced their limited run residency this summer. $600 for two for a Thursday night. These people suck donkey balls.
Yeah I was really disappointed when I saw that. Went to a show on their “farewell tour” last year, and they were really hyping up the fact it would be the last opportunity to see them live. Tickets were already stupid expensive. Not only was that a complete lie, but now they’re playing at this ridiculous monolith? I feel slightly betrayed.
A planetarium (…) is a theatre built primarily for presenting educational and entertaining shows about astronomy and the night sky, or for training in celestial navigation.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlanetariumWhat’s the term for reverse planetarium that shows contents outside of the sphere instead of inside and showing ads instead of educational astronomy shows?
I would say a billboard
I’d say this is more of a billball. Sorry, everyone.
I just want them to make it a KC Chiefs helmet full-time.
The inside seems like a cool AF venue but the outside can fuck off
I like the potential of the outside but it looks like they are using it as a billboard rather than a cool visual. It also needs a night mode.
When I was there a few months ago it was mostly just weird imagery and the occasional Mortal Kombat ad.
Seeing it in person was very impressive, but I wasn’t able to go inside.
I just want to see it watching golf again
and how many extra fatalities in traffic-collisions were there, around it, and were they worth the money?
