The facility is the result of a pioneering 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 will be owned by Fort Worth and managed by the not-for-profit Multipurpose Arena Fort Worth (MAFW). It will host concerts, sporting events, and family entertainment, and will serve as the new home of the Fort Worth Stock Show Rodeo. The Fort Worth Stock Show and other equestrian events will still be 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".

Center Hung Scoreboard

Dickies Arena has the second-largest, continuous 360-degree screen in North America. The scoreboard is so large, it extends past the width of the basketball court.

The board measures 105 feet across and 26 feet tall.

There are 1.2 Million LEDs installed on the board.
