The mission and focus for the Rock Entertainment Group is to optimize the position as world-class operators in sports and entertainment by developing a unified, branded platform for relentlessly creating amazing experiences for the fans, the teams, the partners, the stakeholders, and their thousands of staff members across the spectrum of properties.

‘cleveland19.com’ further stated that Cosm uses Shared Reality (a technology-driven immersive experience that blends the physical and virtual worlds to create a communal experience) to merge a stadium atmosphere to give the fans the “best seat in the house”.

Noted Nic Barlage, head honcho, Rock Entertainment Group, “Cleveland has long been recognized as a premier entertainment and Sport City with one of the most dedicated fan bases in the United States making it the ideal location for Cosm.

This incredible venue will enhance our City’s reputation as a hub for sports and entertainment drawing the 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 Cosm’s fifth venue after locations in Los Angeles, Dallas, Atlanta, and Detroit.
