Sports fans will be able to sit courtside in new shared virtual reality venue, Cosm

11 November 2024 at 15:03

A new “experiential entertainment” venue is coming to downtown Detroit.

Real estate firm Bedrock has partnered with Cosm to offer a “shared reality” venue to create a brand new way for Detroiters to experience sports, music and art.

The venue will feature an expansive 12K resolution dome screen — 87 feet in diameter — immersing fans in a shared virtual reality that simulates them being courtside, pitch-side, or in the front row of a concert at famous destinations.

Detroit will be the company’s fourth location, said Jeb Terry, president and CEO of Cosm.

“Detroit is a city with passionate, diverse fan bases,” he said. “When you experience the energy downtown, it’s clear that Detroit is the ideal location for our Midwest anchor.”

Cosm aims to provide a range of price points to make the venue accessible to all, ensuring it becomes a go-to destination for Detroiters. VIP experiences will be offered with amenities such as in-seat food service and exclusive views.

The new venue will be part of a multi-level market hall district by Bedrock, designed to bring 24/7 entertainment to Detroit. Cosm promises daily programming that spans live sports, music events, immersive art and more.

Cosm is expected to open in 2026.
