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.

Contents

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 Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association’s Fort Worth Stock Show Rodeo and Xtreme Bulls since 2020 and was the home of the Professional Bull Riders World Finals in 2022 and 2023. The Fort Worth Stock Show and other equestrian events are held at the adjacent Will Rogers Memorial Center.

Naming

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]

Seating

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.

Acoustics

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 ]

Center-hung scoreboard

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.

However, in some parts of the world and at some small rodeos, the jobs of bull rider protection and comic remain combined.
