| 0:00.0 | This is CBS I on the world. I'm John Bachelor. Jeff Bliss is Pacific Watch. We go immediately to the Vegas |
| 0:09.0 | report, The Sphere, my favorite new creature in all of America by itself all by itself and here comes |
| 0:16.3 | the Super Bowl Jeff please remind the Sphere and what about the Super Bowl good evening |
| 0:21.6 | to you. Good evening John. The sphere is a huge entertainment facility. |
| 0:27.0 | You could liken it to a giant golf ball, but this is a building that dwarfs many of the large resort hotel buildings around it on the Las Vegas |

| 1:21.0 | Again, this is a building that seats, I think it's about |
| 1:24.0 | sixteen thousand or so people inside, so it's not small. It's not just this little |
| 1:29.1 | little attraction, but it's become one of the center pieces of Vegas and the strip area and they'll be using it for the Super Bowl. |
| 1:36.0 | They haven't given out details of it yet about what they're doing, but it appears they'll use it to show some of the programming on the side of it and perhaps even some |
