Bettman, speaking Tuesday after Day 2 of the NHL Board of Governors meeting, said there are still contracts that need to be signed, but the NHL is in a good place to get it done. "I think it'll be pretty dramatic," Bettman said. The NHL will be the first sports entity to hold an event at Sphere, an 18,600-seat globe-like arena that has become renowned for its immersive video and audio technology, including a 16k resolution wraparound interior LED screen and outdoor LED displays. "It will the first sporting event in the Sphere and 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," Bettman said. "We think it'll be fun. We think it'll be dramatic and compelling." continued
