“Well … Cosm is mind-blowing,” Byrd wrote. During the tour, Cosm CEO Jeb Terry unveiled the vision behind the spectacle. His message? This isn’t tomorrow’s tech—it’s here now.
The venue offers much more than just giant-screen sports viewing, Byrd said. It’s an “entirely immersive adventure in art and entertainment,” with experiences ranging from college football to Cirque du Soleil performances.
With two locations so far (Dallas and Los Angeles), Cosm is redefining entertainment—one immersive experience at a time.
