Cosm is an event venue in Hollywood Park, right across from SoFi, where you watch live sports, movies, and artistic performances on an 87-foot LED dome that curves around and above you.
I heard rumblings about Cosm last football season from a few friends who went and wouldn’t stop raving about it. One seller friend told me a story of texting a friend a photo of the screen mid-game, and the friend thought he was actually standing on the sideline of the game. For a sense of the visual and vibe, here’s a clip of the Niners scoring on my beloved Bears' hapless defense last season.
The main room is called the Dome. It seats around 350 people in comfy sofa-style chairs or bar seats. There are three tiers:
Tier 2 is the best with the most central and immersive views.
Tier 3 is next with panoramic views from up top (here’s a visual of tier 3 for a Premier League game).
Tier 1 is the bottom level. Still an incredible view, but you are in the low rows looking up, similar to what it feels like to be in the front section of a movie theater.
You’ll have a server providing food and drinks throughout the game (menu), so you can focus on hanging with your clients and, if you’re like me, watching your favorite team get crushed in ultra high definition.
For a more affordable option, they also have a space called The Hall, which has enormous LED screens playing multiple games and looks like a massive Vegas sportsbook on steroids. Seats in the Hall can be reserved, or are first-come, first-served through a General Admission ticket.
If you want some fresh air, there’s also a rooftop Deck with TVs and great views of Hollywood Park. Here are visuals of all the options on the Experience page of the website.
Tickets:
Ticket prices are dynamic based on demand. Big games regularly sell out.
3 types of tickets (does not include food/drinks):
The Dome: The premier space and what you imagine when you think of Cosm.
Expect: $100-500 per seat for big games.
The Hall: Premium sportsbook-like experience.
Expect: $30-40 for premium reserved seating.
General Admission: First-come, first-served standing-room areas with limited views of The Dome or find available seating in The Hall and on The Deck.
Expect: $12-15 per ticket
Groups under 10 people: Purchase through Cosm's events portal where you can sign up to be notified when games you want to catch go on sale.
Groups of 10 or more: You can contact Tiffany Watkins ([email protected]). She can secure seats before they open to the public and recommends reaching out about 8 weeks ahead. You give her your budget and group size, and she can build out different package options for you.
Basics:
Note: It’s not just sports! They host movies, performances, and cool art experiences as well. Check out the full event portal for more information.
Location: 1252 District Drive, Inglewood (Hollywood Park, across from SoFi Stadium)
Parking: On site, validated up to 4 hours.
Added Value: When I spoke with the sales lead, Tiffany, she encouraged me to come check it out in person since it’s hard to overstate what it feels like to see it IRL. They happened to be playing the first Harry Potter movie (which still hits btw), and even that was mind-blowing.
A big perk of Cosm is that you get the energy and feeling of actually being at a game, but with more creature comforts and less of the logistical crush of gathering with 80,000 of your closest friends.
Consider this one especially if you have a client who’s an LA transplant and doesn’t often get to support their home team.
