Cosm, a leading experiential entertainment company, has announced that it will officially open its first venue to the public on June 29, 2024. The 65,000 square foot venue, located in Inglewood Hollywood Park, will feature a live Shared Reality production of UFC 303, offering fans an unprecedented, Octagon-side experience.
Situated at the heart of the sports and entertainment capital of the world, adjacent to SoFi Stadium and the Intuit Dome, Cosm's first fan-facing venue boasts an 87-foot diameter 8K+ LED dome that transforms live sports and entertainment. The Shared Reality experience will showcase live sports, entertainment, music, immersive art, and more, delivering an elevated experience that merges the energy of the crowd with exceptional food and beverage service. Fans will feel as if they have the best seat in the house at the most sought-after events from around the globe.
While UFC 303 will be held at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Cosm will provide Los Angeles area fight fans with the opportunity to enjoy the experience of sitting Octagon-side for one of the year's most highly anticipated UFC events.
Prior to the public opening on June 29, Cosm will host a series of private events and early access premiers at its venue, featuring live productions of the 2024 NBA Finals and 2024 Stanley Cup Finals, as well as exclusive immersive exhibitions from world-renowned creators and artists of the Cosm Studios Creator Program.
"We are thrilled to announce the opening of Cosm Los Angeles," said Jeb Terry, CEO and President at Cosm. "This isn't just about opening our doors – it's about unlocking access to the world's most coveted sports and entertainment events. We've anticipated this announcement since Cosm started in 2019, and we are thrilled to open with an exceptional lineup of championship events, including the NBA Finals, NHL Stanley Cup Finals, and UFC 303. It's the perfect slate to reveal our reimagined live sports experience."
Terry continued, "To complement our live sports programming, we will showcase content in collaboration with all our partners, including a portfolio of entertainment offerings featuring an all-access presentation of Cirque Du Soleil, immersive art and audiovisual experiences, and soon-to-be-announced projects in partnership with major studios. This is our first venue opening, but it is not our last. We are excited to usher in this new category of entertainment and introduce Shared Reality to fans around the world."
Cosm's slate of live sports offerings continues to expand through official partnerships with ESPN, the NBA, NBC Sports, TNT Sports, and UFC. These partnerships will allow fans to experience live Shared Reality productions of a variety of sports, including English Premier League soccer, college football and basketball, the NBA, NHL, premium horse racing events, UFC, US Open Tennis, and select U.S. Men's and Women's National Soccer Team matches.
