Would've hoped they'd use the Sphere for more than just a glorified ad board.

The sphere just looks like it is there for looking good on shots. Not really sure how useful it will be for anything else.

I hoped to see some cool graphics. Anything but ads.

Yeah maybe it can have the leader board on it so that anyone in Vegas can see but that would be against the monetary interests of FOM πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒ

But it is just a glorified ad board.

Not sure what else you think they use it for... Especially in F1, in which adverts whizz around a track surrounded by other adverts.

It's Vegas!

What would you really expect? Money-in is all they care about. Interesting doesn't equal money-in.
