Potentially the Largest Esports Stadium in the USA - Arlington Site

Sports stadiums are of huge proportions - whether it's football, ice hockey, basketball, the viewing experience live is simply incredible. With esports rising up as a prominent sport, the industry is continually moving away from conventional arenas to stadiums dedicated to hosting esports competition. As of right now, an exciting opportunity awaits American citizens, with a new site all the way in Arlington, which is planned to house the largest esports stadium in the whole country, being one of the largest in the entire world. Here's what you should know. 

100,000 square feet is a lot of space. To put it into comparison, this would be 1 fortieth the size of The Vatican City, and it's plenty of space to build a flexible and illustrious esports stadium. This will most likely be one of the key attractions in the upcoming Arlington’s world-class Entertainment District which will release upon completion of construction. We'll be including schematic photographs in the thumbnail and below. 

The Senior Principle of Construction, Brian Mirakian, had this to say: 

"This esports stadium will transform the Arlington Convention Center and position the city as the epicenter for esports in the heart of North America. Esports fans will encounter a live experience unlike any other, by way of space for up to 1,000 spectators, VIP amenities, and year-round event potential.”

The stadium will be managed by NGAGE esports, a leader within the marketing share of the industry. With the esports industry to value itself at around $1.5 billion by 2020, the stadium will harbour in fans from across the whole world and will utilize some impressive new technology to ensure the greatest viewing experience. To add to this, the centre will only be 10 minutes away from the Arlington University Campus! Students here already enjoy an interactive gaming community and they're all keen to take part in events. I'd do anything to get into that university. Here's what the President of the University had to say:

“We are proud of our students and pleased that they will be able to share in the events and competitions that will take place in this world-class facility just 10 minutes from campus. I’m grateful for the wonderful collaboration that exists between UT Arlington, the city, and our community and look forward to another wonderful partnership that will keep Arlington and the metroplex at the forefront of this new exciting enterprise.”

The area will be decked out with a major competition event space, gaming areas alongside retail and social spaces.  There will also be VIP hospitality, a broadcast studio and team training area for those warming their shot before the event.
