U2 was the first artist to have a residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas. I have a friend who went twice and said it was an unbelievable experience. He said the graphics wrapped around the venue with the most impressive sound he had ever experienced in a venue.

What if I told you there is a better way to enjoy a major sporting event than watching on your big screen at home or your favorite sports bar? What if that experience was so immersive that you felt like you were in the actual stadium it was being played?

Cosm Detroit is designed for sports fans to feel like they are near the glass of a hockey game, courtside for a basketball game, behind home plate for a baseball game, at the 50-yard line of a football game, and ringside for an MMA event.

According to MLive, Cosm Detroit will feature a planetarium-style dome that puts sports fans in the middle of the action. Cosm Detroit features live sports from partnerships with UFC, the NBA, NBC Sports, TNT Sports, Fox Sports, ESPN, the NFL, and more.
