The Madison Square Garden Company (MSG) has submitted plans for a futuristic sphere-shaped music and entertainment venue in Stratford, east London.<\/p>\n

MSG want to build the 90-metre tall scheme on a 4.7 acre former coach park near the Olympic Park.<\/p>\n

The 120-metre diameter building will take three-years to construct and will have a capacity of 21,500 people.<\/p>\n

The 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

Alongside the main venue MSG also plans a smaller music club\/nightclub, retail space, a caf\u00e9, and restaurants.<\/p>\n

Jayne McGivern, MSG\u2019s Executive Vice President of Development and Construction, said: \u201cThis is an opportunity to take an inaccessible coach park and use it to support thousands of jobs, and billions of pounds of economic benefit.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cOur 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

\u201cIf our plans are approved, we believe MSG Sphere will complement London\u2019s existing venues and drive overall growth in the music and entertainment market \u2013 benefiting residents, artists and fans.\u201d<\/p>\n
