gained traction, and the MSG behind the project has now filed planning documents.<\/p>\n<p>MSG Sphere would be a \u201cnext-generation\u201d music venue that MSG claims would revolutionise the entertainment experience.<\/p>\n<p>MSG aims to build the 90-metre tall project on a 4.7-acre former coach park near the Olympic Park.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s predicted that the 120-metre long building will take three-years to construct and will have a capacity of 21,500 people.<\/p>\n<p>The MSG sphere will sit on a four-storey base filling the whole site and its exterior will be clad with triangular LED panels displaying moving images.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the main venue, plans for the MSG Sphere include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Publicly-accessible outdoor spaces \u2013 including a nature play space for children, seating areas, and an outdoor gym<\/li>\n<li>A range of indoor dining and entertainment options \u2013 a smaller music club\/nightclub, retail space, a caf\u00e9, and

to <a href=\"https:\/\/news.sky.com\/uk\"><em>Sky News<\/em><\/a>, Jayne McGivern, MSG&#8217;s executive vice president of Development and Construction, said: &#8220;This is an opportunity to take an inaccessible coach park and use it to support thousands of jobs, and billions of pounds of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/urban-housing-economic-growth\/54136\/\">economic benefit<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our plans make training and local hiring a priority and would create a premier destination that serves as a long-term investment in the future of Newham, London, and the UK.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If our plans are approved, we believe MSG Sphere will complement London&#8217;s existing venues and drive overall growth in the music and entertainment market\u00a0\u2013 benefiting residents, artists and fans.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div
