July 7, 2025 [Cleveland, OH] – Cosm, Bedrock, and Rock Entertainment Group (REG) announced today that Cosm, the leading immersive technology, media and entertainment company, will anchor Bedrock's mixed-use Rock Block development in downtown Cleveland. Through Shared Reality, Cosm connects people and brings them together by merging a stadium-like atmosphere with the energy of the crowd, elevated food and beverage options, and state-of-the-art visuals, transporting them to the best seat in the house, every time.
Situated at the intersection of East 4th Street, Prospect Avenue, and Huron Road, Cosm Cleveland will join a number of entertainment, sports, retail, and dining amenities in downtown’s Gateway District, headlined by the Rock Entertainment Group-operated Rocket Arena. Bedrock’s Rock Block is also set to offer a range of retail, hospitality, and parking options to amplify and support the momentum of Cleveland’s urban core.
“Cleveland has long been recognized as a premier entertainment and sport town with one of the most dedicated fan bases in the country, making it the ideal location for Cosm,” saidNic Barlage, CEO of Rock Entertainment Group. “This groundbreaking, innovative technology represents the future of live sports and attractions—and Rock Block, next to Rocket Arena, will be the go-to destination for visitors from the region and beyond to experience it.”
“This is a major milestone for our downtown Gateway District, and the arrival of Cosm is a testament to our community's spirit and resilience,” added Cleveland Mayor Justin M. Bibb. “This incredible venue will enhance our city’s reputation as a hub for sports and entertainment, drawing visitors from near and far to experience a whole new level of immersive entertainment. With its engaging technology and diverse programming, Cosm will not only elevate the visitor experience but also strengthen our local economy and community connections. We are proud to partner with Bedrock on this transformative project that reflects the vibrancy and passion of Cleveland.”
Cleveland will be home to Cosm’s fifth venue. The company last year announced a fourth location in Detroit, which broke ground on Bedrock’s Development at Cadillac Square in April 2025. Cosm has also opened two venues – Los Angeles (Hollywood Park) and Dallas (Grandscape) – and recently began the development of its third venue in Atlanta (Centennial Yards).
“We’re proud to bring Cosm to a city with such a strong sense of identity and passion,” said Jeb Terry, President and CEO of Cosm. “This venue will be more than just a destination; it will be a new way for Clevelanders to come together and experience the moments that matter most, in Shared Reality. Located immediately across from Rocket Arena, Cosm Cleveland will add to the energy of game day and big events, and activate Bedrock’s Rock Block development with live sports, experiential cinema and entertainment, and cultural offerings year-round.”
Expanding on the foundational design of its first four venues, Cosm Cleveland will include a 12K+ LED dome with a complementary hi-resolution wall-to-wall LED display, while still highlighting unique characteristics that reflect Cleveland’s vibrant community. The venue will be built and designed in partnership with Bedrock and multi-disciplinary architectural firm ROSSETTI.
Programming at Cosm Cleveland will include:
A slate of live sports offerings featuring NCAA Football, NFL, UFC, NBA, MLB, WWE, NHL, Premier League (EPL) and international soccer, Men’s and Women’s NCAA Basketball, Tennis, Golf, and more; building on official partnerships with leagues and broadcasters including FOX Sports, ESPN, NBC Sports, TNT Sports, CBS Sports, Amazon, and more.
Experiential cinema, expanding on the heels of Cosm unveiling the world’s first-ever cinematic presentation in Shared Reality of The Matrix, in partnership with Little Cinema and Warner Bros. Pictures.
