Arlington, Texas has announced plans for a 100,000 square foot esports stadium in its downtown entertainment district. The stadium will be the largest esports venue in North America by a wide margin.
“I know the gaming community across the globe is going to fall in love with this stadium and with Arlington,” Arlington Mayor Jeff Williams said at a press conference about the venture at the Arlington Convention Center, which will be the site of the eventual stadium. “We’re ready for the biggest tournaments in the esports industry to call Arlington home.”
The lease is for ten years with another ten-year renewal option.
