Fresh visuals emerge for downtown’s forthcoming Cosm dome Josh Green Wed, 09/10/2025 - 17:03

One of the more unique projects among a flurry of downtown Atlanta development is coming into clearer focus.

Fresh visuals have emerged for Cosm, an entertainment option unique to Atlanta and the eastern United States, that illustrate what the attraction will offer and how it will be slotted into the broader Centennial Yards district.

The Cosm company uses a technology called Shared Reality to take visitors “beyond the front row” for major sporting contests, live performances, art shows, and other events, alongside a food-and-beverage program described as “elevated.”

Renderings for Cosm Atlanta show three distinctive zones planned for the 70,000-square-foot, three-level venue.

Those include the immersive “The Dome” component; a section dotted with large LED screens called “The Hall” that’s billed as the ultimate game-day sports bar; and a swanky rooftop venue dubbed “The Deck” with downtown stadium views.

Atlanta’s Cosm has topped out as part of Centennial Yards’ rising, 8-acre Entertainment District.

Centennial Yards reps this week tell Urbanize Atlanta that Cosm remains on schedule to open sometime in 2026. A more specific timeline isn’t currently available.

Situated adjacent to State Farm Arena and Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Cosm Atlanta will mark the third venue for Cosm and the first in the eastern U.S., following similar concepts at Hollywood Park in Los Angeles and Grandscape in The Colony in Texas, north of downtown Dallas.

Cosm venues in Detroit and Cleveland are also in the pipeline.

Highlighted by the 87-foot diameter, 12K+ LED dome, Cosm Atlanta was designed by architecture firm Gensler, which also designed the nearby Signia by Hilton tower over The Benz, Atlanta’s tallest new hotel in four decades.

Project officials have said the Atlanta venue will expand on the foundational design of those in California and Texas while incorporating character that reflects Centennial Yards and the city at large.

Centennial Yards Company signed a long-term lease last summer with the immersive technology, entertainment, and media company. The estimated $5 billion project’s broader goal is to transform 50 acres around the chasm the Gulch had been for generations into a vibrant, walkable area for visitors and residents.

Cosm has inked official partnerships with ESPN, the NBA, NBC Sports, TNT Sports, FOX Sports, the UFC, and others.

Beyond live sports, the venue’s programming will include Cirque du Soleil’s production “O” and what are described as immersive art experiences from Cosm Studios Creator Program members.
