California New ‘Cosm’ Immersive Sports-Watching Dome is Amazing – and Expensive
Get All the Hottest Sports Action This Fall with Hulu + Live TV
October 7, 2024I went to Alexis Ohanian’s women’s-only track event. It was exactly what I expected from a tech millionaire.
October 7, 2024“For 75 years Cosm built planetariums,” reports a Texas news station, “and then a few years ago realized this technology could take you from the night sky to anywhere under the sun.”
So now Los Angeles and Dallas have massive 9,600-square-foot, 8K-resolutio…

If I wanted to be “immersed”, I would go to a game in person.
This sounds like a way to have all the expenses, all the crowds, all the inconvenience of leaving home, and … still not actually being there?
(Guess I’m not the target audience though.) I have been to many games in a few sports. Mostly thanks to corporate tickets. Being at the game in any but the very first few rows is only immersive in terms of feeling like a part of the crowd. When it comes to the game itself, a 19″ crt with rabbit ears is a better watch. This sounds like a better way to experience the game than that granted by 95% of the seats. I have been to many games in a few sports.

Must by why they have those big screens at concerts too. So you can “feel like you are there” even though you can’t actually see anything without a screen, lol I have been to many games in a few sports. Mostly thanks to corporate tickets.

It sounds interesting to me at the very least. I wouldnâ(TM)t mind watching an Aussie Rules football game in it.

That’s a good point 😀 If they shoot movies in this format, then this dome could also be your next cinema. Sort of like IMAX++. I’ll bet they chose sports because they can get the right cameras to the grounds relatively easily (ie. pay some money and get it done) and some fans are practically rabid about seeing games, so there’s immediate demand. Movies are a slower burn because they need shooting in the right way, and despite trying for years. imax has barely made any progress there. I’ll bet movies also have less profitability, If I wanted to be “immersed”, I would go to a game in person.Disagree. Going to a game is not immersive. Going to a game very much makes you a distant spectator. Even the best seats of a game can’t give you immersion of a camera at field level. The only value in going to the game is the atmosphere. If you want to actually see the game properly – watch the broadcast. If you want to immerse yourself – watch the broadcast on an IMAX sized screen.

It’s not even close. However, being at the game or concert is an experience, an emotional experience, hearing the crowd and feeling like a part of the spectacle. That emotional experience is worth hundreds of dollars, and I’ve spent that money, but the money is purely for the emotional experience.

It’s sad, because like 8-track cassette, it’s simple technology made amazing. Unfortunately, the few places that built a dome theater, didn’t go big.

Manchester has a similar climate to Seattle – it rains a lot.This is nothing like Baltimore’s Mr Splash section either, the rain tends to be colder in Manchester. Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions — everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses. The focus on the broad price spectrum to attend an event is, in a word, confusing. I’ve gone to baseball games and watched from luxury boxes up high, and seats right down near the base line with wait staff to bring you concessions/beers. I’ve been to football (US) games and sat near the 50 yard line on the home team side and saw people up in the luxury boxes, and I’ve seen people sitting courtside at basketball games, with seats so expensive everyone knows the name of every person sitting courtside from the âoe group booths tend to sell for at least a few hundred dollars apieceâ The article tries to make the point that this is less than thousands of dollars for ârealâ(TM) outside/ 50 yard line whatever . But honestly part of spending the money is showing off the fact you are there and can spend the money. I dunno if the planetarium gives the buyer that same ego boost. Iâ(TM)m thinking maybe for birthdays and stuff, but week to week a sports bar with a good crowd plus 1 or 2 live gam Are we now upset that the rich can afford better things than other people?

Since they’re at capacity every single day, and Disney is a highly profitable machine, mere mortals can’t enjoy a day at the park like olden times.

Good news, ticket prices will soon be priced according to how many want to buy the same ticket right-now. (Surge-pricing auction: See, Taylor Swift concert.)
