And Phish has already booked the Sphere for a four-date tour in April.īettman said, “I think it’ll be a pretty well-viewed event, both in terms of the draft itself and the viral use of The Sphere inside and outside using the globe. It was a hit during the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix, as it followed the cars around the track. Its debut event featured U2 to sellout crowds.

In 2024, however, the US hockey league will get together like rockstars, one last time. Starting in 2025, that’s how the NHL will conduct its draft.

Next year, the NHL is planning to hold its last centralized draft at one of the most breathtaking venues in Las Vegas.
