Key Points:
- Sphere Entertainment plans to develop a second US venue, a smaller "mini-Sphere," in National Harbor, Maryland, located 15 minutes south of Washington, DC, with no finalized timeline or exact location yet.

- Inside, the mini-Sphere will include a 16,000 by 16,000 pixel wrap-around screen, immersive sound, haptic seating, and 4D environmental effects similar to those used in the AI-enhanced Wizard of Oz show in Las Vegas.
- Construction depends on receiving government
