The largest dome structure in the world, at a price of almost 2 billion euros, whose façade with 54,000m² of LED modules is the largest LED display in the world, supplemented on the inside by a display with a surface area of 15,000 m². And the visual media that give the 112 m high sphere its versatile face and interior are by no means the only superlative. There are also 164,000 loudspeakers and, of course, a lot more technology in front of and behind the scenes. 18,600 audience seats turn the gigantic installation into a venue. Here, unprecedented live entertainment productions can be marvelled at. Sport, boxing for example, which requires little in the way of specific sports facilities, will be possible.
