Size17.5 acres

Dickies Arena is a multi-purpose facility located on the Will Rogers Memorial Center campus and a certified LEED Silver project. The 17.5-acre site provides more than enough space for the arena to host a multitude of entertainment events without reaching issues of overcapacity. Visitors can attend concerts, sporting events, family shows, conventions, and even the iconic, month-long Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo at the arena.

The 6.3 acres of plazas and gardens also provide multiple locations for farmer’s markets, festivals, and a spacious outdoor gathering space. The gardens are a display of native grasses and tree pallets that demonstrate the natural beauty of the resilient Texas landscape.
