It's like Vegas' Sphere — kinda. 7 things to know about L.A.'s otherworldly new venue
Outside it was sunny and in the high 80s, but inside, a large, spectral-like glacier was rushing toward me.
As it broke apart in the water, it looked sickly, with glowing green streaks running through it. Then it was overhead, and I was spiraling, traversing oceanic crests only to arrive inside an underwater forest.
I was at Cosm in Inglewood. And I was watching a short film, “Seek,” from local artist Nancy Baker Cahill. As images of leaves and algae swirled below, in front and above us, some audience members gasped. Others pointed at mystical details in the fantastical take on nature.
Cosm, which officially opened this month, is an entertainment- and sports-focused venue that places guests in a mini-arena with a screen that surrounds them. It’s L.A.’s latest entry in the still-burgeoning immersive space, one that taps into our long-held desire to be enveloped in panoramic visions, this one a large-scale display that towers in a dome.
While “Seek” is otherworldly, much of Cosm’s programming aims to be grounded in reality. Thus far, it has focused on live simulcasts of sporting events. But don’t think of it as a sports bar. And don’t necessarily consider it a theater, either, although its current programming includes a Cirque cu Soleil favorite. Here are seven things to know about the hard-to-pigeonhole Cosm.

1. Think of it as part planetarium, part mini-Sphere
Cosm has roots in science and education. The firm owns Spitz Inc., the planetarium endeavor founded in the 1940s by Armand Spitz, a principal in the field. Yet Cosm Los Angeles definitely has entertainment on its mind. It will no doubt recall Las Vegas’ all-encompassing arena Sphere. Yet Cosm is cozier.
The centerpiece of the venue is its dome, with an 87-foot-diameter wraparound LED screen; Sphere, meanwhile, reaches heights of about 366 feet. But what matters more than sheer numbers is the feel of the environment. If Sphere has centered itself primarily around live music, Cosm is going for an intimate, slightly upscale mood, albeit one in which each of its three seating levels is relatively close to its screen.
That means live entertainment won’t be Cosm’s core programming. Instead, expect live simulcasts of sports, rebroadcasts of theatrical productions and original, artist-driven cinematic installations. If all goes according to plan, perhaps Cosm will host a mix of concert films and live feeds of in-demand, difficult-to-get-into shows. The idea is to complement live performances by giving us views that would be largely impossible to see in the flesh, and to do so with a screen that puts us in the center of the scene.
The resolution, of course, is crisp, with Cosm boasting a 12K LED screen. That presentation, coupled with our close proximity to a screen that wraps around and above us, at times even results in a sense of motion. I watched Cahill’s “Seek” in Cosm’s dome, and the work is one that uses abstract visual effects to present alternately a surreal and welcoming vision of nature. As tornadoes swirled before us or Cahill’s images led us inside a tree, the venue seemed to lift with the visuals, resulting in a theme park-like feel.
“I’m really into big — big everything. I’m a maximalist,” Cahill says when discussing what drew her to Cosm. “Seek” is a commentary about our shifting climate, using tech that encircles us to create a sense of presence.
“Among the most important takeaways and opportunities that I thought about in terms of this canvas was, how could we reconnect to our animal selves?” Cahill says. “How could we really find ourselves embedded in nature by paying attention?”

2. Cosm wants to redefine the sports viewing experience
Situated as it is in Inglewood, nestled near SoFi Stadium and the Intuit Dome, Cosm taps into the sports-centric entertainment of the Hollywood Park area. Much of Cosm’s early programming has centered around UFC bouts, international soccer matches and, soon, the U.S. Open tennis tournament and NCAA football games. So what makes Cosm different from, say, your couch or the local sports bar? The dome, for one, isn’t simply showing a network broadcast.
Cosm events are filmed with the company’s own cameras, providing four to six unique perspectives — either on the field or courtside, or sometimes an unexpected above-ground view, says Devin Poolman, Cosm’s chief product and technology officer. The goal is to ensure what you’re seeing at Cosm is not something that is replicated at home. And if it works, it should create an illusion of being extremely close to the action, as Cosm’s in-house technical directors are switching camera angles on the fly.
Cosm will work with broadcast partners to pipe in live television commentary. Think of it all as simulating a front-row-seat experience. You won’t be tricked into believing you’re actually in the sporting venue, but it should be close. “I liken it to the days of bringing a radio to the ballpark and listening along to the announcers while you’re watching the game,” Poolman says.

3. Cosm insists this is not a theater
“We’re allergic to the term theater,” Poolman says. Cosm’s creators want the spaces to feel social. That’s why they also sell a low-priced general admission ticket, which allows access to the venue’s sports-focused bar and restaurant as well as obstructed, back-of-the-dome viewing. They want guests to know it’s OK to get up, walk around and take in the scenery.
“We want you comfortable in a social setting — going to the bar and grabbing a drink and talking to your friends while enjoying a sense of place,” Poolman says. “That is taking you to a world Nancy Baker Cahill is creating, or a soccer match or UFC fight.”
Seating, for instance, is communal. A second-floor bar rail is available for solo guests but also encourages conversation with those around you. Tables and booths offer seating for two to eight.
Cosm CEO Jeb Terry, a former pro football player, says Cosm isn’t out to show Hollywood films. Instead, the venue will continue to focus on sports and its creator program, which has largely resulted in 30- to 40-minute artist-focused, visual effects-driven works.
In addition to Cahill’s “Seek,” Cosm is home to the animated “Orbital,” from Guy Reid and Planetary Collective, an impressionistic take on the formation of the universe, and “Liquidverse: Microcosm & Macrocosm,” Ricardo Romaneiro‘s psychedelic exploration of miniature chemical reactions. All were created specifically for Cosm using primarily a mix of animation and video game engines.
“We’re not a first-run theater,” says Terry. “We’re leaning into the experiential side.”
An open-air dining area at Cosm also includes a 150-foot wall-to-wall screen.

4. Beyond the dome is an open-air restaurant and bar
As someone who spends quite a bit of time at so-called immersive venues and at immersive events, I see a lot of darkened, boxy air-conditioned spaces. After a recent trip to Las Vegas to visit a number of immersive locales, shuffling among indoor spots, I spent a week working in a park, simply wanting to be outdoors. So one of the nice touches with Cosm is its first-floor, relatively open-air restaurant and bar. Dubbed “the Hall,” the area contains an indoor-outdoor bar as well as a menu of sports bar-inspired food (think burgers, wings, popcorn, etc.). Note that the kitchen is available throughout Cosm, including in the dome.
While all of Cosm requires a ticket to enter, the Hall is more budget-friendly than the dome, where tickets can push $70 per person or more. Hall tickets for the U.S. Open simulcast, for instance, cost $6, but NCAA football events run about $22. The centerpiece of the area is its 150-foot wall-to-wall digital display, which can show multiple games — the one showing in the dome, as well as whatever other key matches are happening at that time.
There are two stories, in case one doesn’t want to be looking up at the screens. It’s a nice option if whatever is screening in the dome is a blow-out. More important, though, it provides a window to the outside world, offering a necessary sensory break after being dwarfed by the dome.
5. Spend some time on the rooftop
There are three floors of dome seating, but don’t miss the escalator leading up to Cosm’s rooftop. That gives Cosm another outdoor space, this one free of screens. When all the tech becomes overwhelming, head here to have a bite and a beverage and take in the views of the nearby sporting venues. And if the scene on the first floor is too loud — depending on the game, I imagine Cosm can feel quite active — the rooftop can be a respite. After seeing “Seek,” I spent about 45 minutes up here reacclimating myself to the natural world, wishing I had brought a book.

6. Can’t make it to Cirque du Soleil’s “O” in Las Vegas? Head to Cosm
One of the more intriguing programming pieces of Cosm’s early slate is a production of Cirque du Soleil’s “O.” Single tickets start at around $77, with booths for four or five running between $264 and $385, depending on the seating level. Having recently seen “O” in Las Vegas, spending more than $150 for a less-than-desirable seat, I do wonder if the not-live but all-surrounding experience of Cosm would have been a better way to experience the show?
“There’s the opportunity to put you onstage, backstage, in the water and above the stage,” Poolman says. “We give you more than what you’d get as a fan sitting in the audience to keep you closely engaged.”
And no binoculars needed.

7. Cosm is a statement about the accessibility — and affordability — of live events
The arrival of Cosm on the L.A. scene raises a question: Is live entertainment increasingly becoming unattainable to all but the wealth class?
Cosm, it should be noted, for a dome ticket isn’t cheap, even if it’s a lower cost of entry than a live event. As a tennis fan, I long to get back to New York for the U.S. Open. A single quarterfinal ticket at Cosm runs around $61 for premium viewing. A third-level table for two will set you back $88. An actual ticket to the event in New York, meanwhile, is currently $163 or more for the top deck, not including airfare and hotel.
“Some of the biggest and most sought-after events in the world are unapproachable and inaccessible to the majority of people,” says Cosm CEO Terry.
So while Cosm provides an arguably better presentation than the home viewing one, not to mention offering a sense of community, I can’t help but fear a world where there’s a growing divide between real life and immersive experiences, the latter relegating most of us to a screen-based reality. Sporting and theatrical events aren’t getting any cheaper, so this seems dangerously plausible. It’s a worry, and Cosm seems to bring us one step closer to it, especially with locations planned for Dallas and Atlanta. For now, however, I’ll see you at the U.S. Open, albeit from my seat in Inglewood.

Olympic legend Kaillie Humphries signs with activist sportswear brand XX-XY Athletics amid political rise
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The most accomplished Olympic women’s bobsledder in history is now an official brand ambassador in the movement to “save women’s sports”.
Olympic bobsled legend Kaillie Humphries has signed with the activist sportswear company XX-XY Athletics, becoming the latest medal-winning Olympian to represent the brand.
“Being able to partner with a brand that believes in the same things I do, that’s willing to stand up and actively work on protecting the women’s space and women’s sports is huge,” Humphries told Fox News Digital.
Humphries first spoke out about her support for protecting women’s sports from biological male trans athletes in a Fox News Interview that went viral after the Milan-Cortina Olympics in February.
Humphries had just returned after winning bronze in women’s bobsled, marking her sixth career Olympic medal. She later revealed that she received backlash for coming out as a Republican with other conservative stances in that interview, but didn’t back down.
Humphries went on to be honored at a White House Women’s History Month event by President Donald Trump in March, and gave her Order of Ikkos medal to Trump, citing his actions to protect women’s sports.
“Being able to come back to the USA after the Olympics and then be able to make connections and meet some people, I was able to, when I went to the White House, I was able to meet people that were connected obviously in working with XX-XY and that’s how the conversation started,” Humphries said.
Humphries, who is originally from Canada and competed in her first three Olympics for Canada, moved to the U.S. in 2016 and then competed for Team USA at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
FEMALE ATHLETES ANXIOUSLY AWAIT SUPREME COURT DECISION TO TAKE UP TRANSGENDER PARTICIPATION IN WOMEN’S SPORTS

Just months after that, America was rocked by the news that male transgender swimmer Lia Thomas was winning championships for UPenn’s women’s swim team.
Humphries, who was following the story in the news, found it startling.
Now, as a California resident and the mother of a newborn son, she is energized to help combat the wave of trans athletes in girls’ sports in the state, as California has become the nation’s biggest hotbed for the issue.
XX-XY Athletics co-founder and former U.S. gymnast Jennifer previously told Fox News Digital one of her biggest goals for the brand was to land high-profile superstar women’s athletes as brand ambassadors, especially Olympic medalists.
Now, with Humphries, the brand has a three-time Olympic gold medalist and six-time Olympic podium finisher across her stints for Canada and the U.S.
Humphries joins Olympic silver medalist gymnast MyKayla Skinner and gold medal swimmer Nancy Hogshead on XX-XY Athletics’ growing roster of Olympians.

“Kaillie is the GOAT of her sport. She is the only Olympian to win gold for two different countries. She is an elite athlete and a courageous, fierce woman who has fought for female athletes to have equal opportunities in sport.” Sey told Fox News Digital.
“The women’s monobob event exists because of Kaillie’s leadership, and she has gold-medal proof that women have the skill, strength, and speed to compete at the highest level. She has driven meaningful change and expanded opportunities for women at the Olympic level — more female athletes represent Team USA because of Kaillie. And that’s exactly why we’re leading with her as we grow in how we support female athletes.”

Cancer left him blind. When his son was diagnosed, ex-USC long snapper found Trojans had his back again
Former USC long snapper Jake Olson made college football history at the Coliseum in September 2017 as the first completely blind player to compete in a Division I college football game.
Eight years later, his not-quite-8-month-old son was having the time of his life crawling around on the same field.
The significance of the moment was not lost on Olson.

“Watching Rowan crawl around out there on that grass, in that stadium that shaped so much of my story, was emotional in a way I didn’t expect,” Olson told The Times during a series of interviews over the phone and via email. “It felt like a full-circle blessing.”
It wasn’t the only blessing Olson, his wife, Audrey, and their son experienced during that trip to Los Angeles in September.
“We were actually out there for Rowan’s first checkup after finishing his last round of systemic chemo,” Olson said, “so the whole trip already carried this sense of celebration and relief.”
Rowan was born Jan. 17, 2025, with bilateral retinoblastoma, the same rare childhood cancer that had caused his father to lose both of his eyes by age 12. Since his diagnosis at 6 days old, Rowan has made monthly trips with his parents from their home in Jacksonville, Fla., to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, the same place his father had been treated decades earlier while growing up in Huntington Beach.
During those hospital visits, Rowan underwent systemic and intravitreal chemotherapy and laser treatments designed to shrink the cancerous tumors in each of his eyes, stop the cancer from spreading and preserve his vision.
After six months of treatment, the tumors had become small enough that the systemic chemotherapy could stop. And now, according to Dr. Jesse Berry, chief of ophthalmology and director of the retinoblastoma program at CHLA, the laser treatment and injections into Rowan’s eyes are no longer needed as well.
“I think right now he is cancer-free,” Berry said. “We have no evidence that he has active cancer anywhere in his body, but he’s a kiddo that we will always watch closely.”

The monthly visits to CHLA will eventually be spaced out, but Rowan will have to be monitored the rest of his life in case the cancer returns.
“There’s always a chance that small tumors pop up here and there over the next couple of years, which is normal for retinoblastoma. That’s why constant monitoring is so important,” Olson said. “As long as we stay on top of it, any tiny spot that appears can be lasered immediately and taken care of.”
Unlike Rowan, Olson was not diagnosed until he was 8 months old. His left eye was removed two months later, while the remaining cancer was treated with systemic chemotherapy. Olson was 12 when doctors decided his right eye needed to be removed.
“Retinoblastoma is very treatable — you know, you catch it early, it’s very treatable,” Olson said.
“I just don’t want [Rowan] to have a 12-year battle with this. Dr. Berry made that very clear up front that his situation is a lot different than mine, that we’re going to knock these things out, and he’s going to grow up with sight in both eyes and really never probably remember a lot of it.”
According to Berry, Rowan has “excellent vision.”
Olson’s ophthalmologist at CHLA was the late Dr. A. Linn Murphree, a pioneer in ocular oncology who later served as Berry’s mentor.
After Rowan was diagnosed, the Olsons didn’t hesitate in choosing a hospital more than 2,400 miles from home for their son’s treatment, both because of its reputation as a leading retinoblastoma center and because of the special care Olson received there throughout his childhood.

“I texted [Berry] — at what was 6:30 in the morning her time — and she responded within two minutes, encouraging us and confidently telling us that she will take the best care of Rowan,” Olson said. “That’s just a glimpse into who she is and the culture Dr. Murphree built.”
At the time, Berry was dealing with hardship of her own. She and her family had just lost their Altadena home in the Eaton fire and were considering leaving the Los Angeles area to rebuild their lives. She said a call from Olson about his newborn son helped her decide to stay.
“Jake called and said, ‘I just had a baby, and I’m sitting in a doctor’s office and they think he has RB, and I want to come see you.’ And that was the same week as the fire,” Berry said. “And so I said, ‘OK, we’ll see you next week.’ He and his family were a real anchor to keeping us set in L.A. and really focused on the greater mission.”
Once back at CHLA, Olson experienced an intense feeling of deja vu.
“We walked into the same waiting room I used to sit in, the same exam rooms, hearing the same vocabulary I hadn’t heard in years. It was like being thrown straight into the deep end of my past,” Olson said.
“The hardest moment was going to the part of the hospital where my last surgery — the one that took my eyesight — took place. Even though I couldn’t see it, my body remembered. I had to fight back panic I didn’t even know I was capable of feeling. But I had to stay steady for Audrey and for Rowan. That was probably the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do.”
But the location of the monthly treatments came with an extra benefit.
“When we found out that [Rowan] had this tumor, we immediately flew out to California and were surrounded by Jake’s family, who had gone through this and had the experience, the wisdom and knowledge around the disease,” Audrey Olson said.

“So I really leaned on the support of the family we were surrounded by. And then I also just leaned on Jake, who I know lived a major life after losing his sight and battling his cancer. We definitely leaned on each other a ton and could not have done it without each other.”
USC football has been a major part of Olson’s life since childhood. Upon learning he would be losing his eyesight, Olson became determined to watch as much of the Trojans as he could before his surgery. Then-coach Pete Carroll heard about Olson and allowed him to hang out with the team in meetings, in the locker room and on the sideline. His last day with sight was spent at a USC practice.
It wouldn’t be Olson’s last time in that environment. Not even close. After years of learning the techniques of a long snapper, Olson earned a first-string spot at the position for Orange Lutheran and joined the Trojans in 2015 as a walk-on player.
Two years later, on Sept. 2, 2017, then-coach Clay Helton called on the 20-year-old long snapper for an extra-point attempt following a USC touchdown against Western Michigan. Olson’s snap, as described by The Times’ Bill Plaschke at the time, was “perfect” and the kick was good, sealing a 49-31 Trojans victory.

“You just never know what’s going to come from adversity and from situations, like the miracles that can come from what we think are tragedies. And that miracle for me was playing football at SC,” said Olson, who played in a total of three games during his time with the Trojans. “Honestly, I don’t know if I ever would have done that if I kept my eyesight or never had cancer. So for me, being able to play at that school was a pinnacle of everything I’d gone through that had led me there.
“I don’t know what Rowan’s pinnacle is going to be, but there’s going to be miracles that come from this. … There’s a level of excitement to that, just hope and knowing there’s going to be something special that comes from this. For me, it was playing at USC, and I think that’s just indisputable evidence of that. And we’ll see what that is for Rowan.”
As news broke about Rowan’s recovery in recent weeks, Olson said he received a text from current USC coach Lincoln Riley.
“He sent a really, really special message that just let us know he’s praying for us,” Olson said. “Trojan football has helped me get through so much in life. It did last year, is going to this year and for every year to come. And if, Lord willing, Rowan will one day wear that helmet too.”

During his family’s visit to the Coliseum last fall, Olson introduced his wife and son to Helton, now the head coach at Georgia Southern, whose team was practicing ahead of its game against the Trojans the next day.
“That alone felt special,” Olson said of meeting up with the coach who had helped change his life. “But then, we were able to walk out onto the exact yard line where I snapped from.
“Standing there with my wife and son, on the very spot where I had shown so much resilience myself, felt like seeing the fruits of ‘Fight On’ in real time. It acted as a reminder and encouragement for why I was still fighting on now through this new cancer journey. It was surreal and sacred at the same time.
“If it weren’t for the Coliseum and USC football, I genuinely don’t know if Audrey or Rowan would be in my life. And if it weren’t for me learning how to fight on through all that it took in order to get to that 3-yard line, I don’t know how I would be fighting on as a father or a husband now. So to have both of them there, on that field, taking it all in for the first time, it meant the world.”

Chiefs and Browns make first trade of 2026 draft and both eventually fill needs
The Cleveland Browns, rumored to be willing to trade down from their No. 6 overall selection in the 2026 NFL draft, did just that Thursday evening when the traded the pick to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Cleveland traded the sixth overall pick in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft to the Chiefs, in exchange for the ninth overall pick, as well as pick No. 74 in the third round and No. 148 in the fifth round.
The Browns now hold the No. 9 and No. 24 picks in the first round of the draft. They have a total of 11 picks in the 2026 NFL Draft.

So the Chiefs gave up three picks in making the first trade of the first round.

And we know what the fan bases of both clubs were thinking prior to the selection:
Chiefs fans were thinking we know something they don’t. And then the Chiefs selected cornerback Mansoor Delane from LSU — a move no doubt forced by the club’s trade of Pro Bowl cornerback Trent McDuffie to the Los Angeles Rams earlier in the offseason.
So, the Chiefs fill a major need, assuming Delane is indeed the quality corner they believe.

GREG OLSEN’S ADVICE FOR NFL DRAFT FIRST-ROUND PICKS ON HANDLING HIGH EXPECTATIONS
ESPN’s Mel Kiper didn’t like the pick, by the way. He had Delane as the 14th best player in the draft.
“It was a necessity,” ESPN analyst Louis Riddick, a former NFL defensive back, responded.
Browns fans weren’t thinking that way.
BROWNS MAKE STUNNING KENNY PICKETT TRADE TO RAIDERS AS BACKUP QUARTERBACK ROLE REMAINS WIDE OPEN
They were probably thinking something akin to “We screwed up.”
This is understandable because they’re Browns fans and this could have been the Browns Browning.
Well, the Browns, moving down three slots, gave up a shot to draft linebacker Sonny Styles of Ohio State to the Washington Commanders, receiver Jordyn Tyson to the New Orleans Saints and then the Browns got their chance with the newly acquired No. 9 pick:

Fano is good. And he makes the Browns offensive line instantly better because he’s going to likely start at left tackle for them.

So what will Browns fans think of this pick?
They’ll probably wonder why the Browns didn’t pick Miami’s Francis Mauigoa, who went with the No. 10 pick to the New York Giants and promised “to die for” Jaxson Dart if necessary. They’ll wonder this because Browns fans expect the worst.
