Dickies Arena is a 14,000-seat multipurpose American arena, located within the Will Rogers Memorial Center in Fort Worth, Texas. [2] The venue hosted a public ribbon cutting on October 26, 2019. The first event held was a Twenty One Pilots concert on November 8, 2019.
The facility is the result of a public-private partnership between Fort Worth, Tarrant County, the state of Texas, and a group of private-sector participants, including foundations, individuals, and organizations. The arena was designed by the 2015 Driehaus Prize winner David M. Schwarz [3] and is owned by Fort Worth and managed by the not-for-profit Multipurpose Arena Fort Worth (MAFW).
It hosts concerts, sporting events, and family entertainment, and serves as the home of the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo. The rodeo is sanctioned by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) and has been held at Dickies Arena since 2020. The venue was the home of the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) World Finals in 2022 and 2023. Since 2022, it has been a home arena of Rattler Days; the hometown event of the Texas Rattlers during the PBR Team Series season. Beginning in 2025, the PBR will host its Last Cowboy Standing event as part of the rodeo. The Fort Worth Stock Show and other equestrian events are held at the adjacent Will Rogers Memorial Center.
On April 18, 2017, as part of the "Let The Dirt Fly" groundbreaking ceremony, MAFW and Dickies announced a surprise partnership that established Dickies as the naming rights partner for the venue. The Fort Worth-based company is the world's leading performance workwear brand. [4]
With a wide variety of seating configurations, the arena is able to accommodate many styles of events. There will be 3 standard levels: plaza level (100-sections), suite and loge box level, and gallery level (200-sections); and 1 additional with floor seating.
While in the design phase, Dickies Arena was built with the intent of having the sound of a concert hall. Great care was given to minimize or eliminate "echo." [ citation needed ]
Dickies Arena has the second-largest, continuous 360-degree screen in North America. The scoreboard extends past the width of the basketball court.
The board measures 105 feet across and 26 feet tall.
There are 1.2 million LEDs[ clarification needed ] installed on the board.

A rodeo clown, bullfighter or rodeo protection athlete, is a rodeo performer who works in bull riding competitions. Originally, the rodeo clown was a single job combining "bullfighting" — the protection of riders thrust from the bull, as well as being an individual who provided comic relief. Today, the job is split into two separate ones: bullfighters who protect the riders from the bull, and entertainers (barrelmen) who provide comic humor. However, in some parts of the world and at some small rodeos, the jobs of bull rider protection and comic remain combined.
