Premier League screening of Newcastle vs. Arsenal at Cosm, billed as a 'Shared Reality' experience with pitchside access at St. James' Park.
Cosm is screening Newcastle vs. Arsenal on Saturday, Nov 21, from 12:30 PM to 2:30 PM, though they've noted the time is subject to change. It's a Premier League match, and the venue is at 85 Centennial Olympic Park Dr NW in downtown Atlanta.
Cosm bills this as a "Shared Reality" experience. The idea is that their technology transports you right onto the pitch, with the option to go pitchside at St. James' Park and take in the game in a fan atmosphere. If you're used to watching the league on a TV at home or at a pub, this is a different way to do it—the whole point is to feel like you're actually there in the stadium rather than just watching a broadcast.
There's a fair bit of story going into this one. Newcastle are playing under new head coach Matthias Jaissle, aiming for European football after finishing in the bottom half last season. Arsenal, on the other hand, come in having won their first Premier League title in more than two decades. It's a clash between a side trying to climb back up and one that's just reached the top, so there's a natural tension to it regardless of where you stand on the table.
