Symbol Stage and the Super Bowl Stage Stored At?

Anybody know where the Symbol Stage and the Super Bowl Stage are stored at? They were the same stage right? Do you know who Built it?

It's not the same stage. The dimensions look different and the lighting around the stage edges are different.

I would guess there were a few iterations of the stage. I remember him saying the one he used at the O2 was 'new' at the opening show of the run.

Very Interesting. Any idea did the same Company make both?

it could easily be not stored anywhere like you think. even stages with unique designs like that are still just component pieces and could have gone off to who knows where by now and being used in other stages.

I thought there was an article a while back that stated it was being stored at PP. I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be. But who knows.

This has likely been posted before but it's good and could be poted again and again. It doesn't answer the OPs questions maybe one in a roundabout. A decent length.

Shelby J.: To rehearse for the Super Bowl, we had tape on the floor where we did our shows. We didn’t have the symbol stage. We were there in Vegas without that symbol stage. We were just doing it in a theater. But it wasn’t like in the round or anything like that.
...
Mischer: The stage was the shape of Prince’s logo. It came out, I think, in 48 separate pieces. It was rolled together by about 624 volunteers who had donated their weekends and one night per week for four weeks before the Super Bowl to actually rehearse the stage being put together, connected electrically, being disassembled, and rolled off.
