Esports Stadium Arlington Debuts as Esports’ Largest, Most Robust Venue in America

A first-of-its-kind production facility equipped with Grass Valley systems will power event broadcasts, complete with a dedicated observer room, caster studio, data center and control room. Players will be able to stay on top of their game by utilizing the dedicated Team Area which includes eight “Team Rooms“, a space for players to strategize and practice, a “Player Lounge“ where players can relax and socialize as well as spaces created specifically for media and staff.

Esports Stadium Arlington’s flexibility gives it the ability to cater to a wide variety of audiences and event types. By transforming previously underutilized space of the Arlington Convention Center, Esports Stadium Arlington also showcases the adaptive re-use potential of esports. The planned stadium will feature a major competition event space, gaming, retail and social spaces, VIP hospitality, a broadcast studio and team training areas.
