On Thursday, May 15, Cosm and Centennial Yards hosted a “steel rising ceremony” in Downtown Atlanta to commemorate the development of Cosm Atlanta, the company’s third experiential entertainment venue in the United States, slated to open in 2026.

The 70,000-square-foot, three-level venue, adjacent to State Farm Arena and Mercedes-Benz Stadium, will include an 87-foot diameter, 12K-resolution LED dome to “deliver live sports and experiential entertainment in Shared Reality,” according to a news release.

Through partnerships with the NBA, UFC, NFL, ESPN, NBC Sports, TNT Sports, FOX Sports, Cirque du Soleil, Warner Bros. Pictures, and Little Cinema, as well as a robust Cosm Studios Creators Program, the venue will offers fans a new way to experience live sports, immersive art, and experiential entertainment by merging state-of-the-art visuals with world-class hospitality and elevated food and beverage service.

Working with award-winning architecture firm Gensler, Cosm Atlanta will expand on the design of Cosm’s first and second venues in Los Angeles and Dallas.
