I'm conflicted. On the one hand, the idea of a rapid response to providing a performance venue is really cool. On the other hand, indoor concerts in the time of COVID.

Yeah, it was on Facebook earlier today. Looks like a collapsing plum ...

I wonder what the acoustics are like? It seems like the bass energy would be lost, but highs would be reflected. Not to mention the noise of the inflation system.

I was wondering about the noise levels during a heavy rain.

I hope that space light provides plenty of light. No way to rig in there, and not a lot of room for ground support.
