Let’s Start with Some GG-Worthy Stats:
When Esports Stadium Arlington opened its doors in November 2018, it was a game-changer (pun intended). The city of Arlington teamed up with Esports Venues, LLC to turn the Arlington Convention Center into what is now the Mecca of esports. How much XP did this renovation cost? Just a cool $10 million. Hey, when you’re aiming to build a fortress for the future of gaming, you don’t skimp on the graphics card, right?
Arena Mode:
First up, let’s talk about that main arena. This isn’t your cousin’s basement setup. Oh no. The stage at Esports Stadium Arlington is designed to knock your respawn time to zero. With a 90-foot LED screen, state-of-the-art lighting, and killer sound systems, this place is set up to provide an epic experience whether you’re down in the front row or spectating from the rafters.
Need seating? They’ve got 2,500 spots for fans to lose their minds when their favorite team pulls off a next-level headshot or secures the final tower. The layout is so well thought out that no matter where you're seated, you have a front-row view of all the e-action.
Game-changing Tech & Features:
The infrastructure at Esports Stadium Arlington is no joke.

Esports Stadium Arlington is now the host venue for one of the industry’s biggest award shows, where legends of the game are crowned and new names are written into the esports hall of fame. Just think of it as the Oscars, but with more headsets and less red carpet.
