All about Dickies Arena Stadium in Fort Worth, Texas, set to host Simone Biles’ Gold Over America Tour

Dickies Arena in Fort Worth is one of the best stadiums in the nation. Dickies is a clothing company that had the rights for naming the arena during the construction in 2019.

This paved the way for a unique stadium of 14,000 capacity with a budget of $540 million raised through a unique private-public partnership. It was spearheaded by local billionaire Ed Bass, who arranged the evolve deal, and such acclaim matches its stunning design.

The stadium itself feels like an interior based in the future with homages to the past in its architecture. Since it’s opening, it has attracted 2 million visitors every year. To help facilitate these guests, they built a six-level parking garage with 2,200 spaces. Thus, the whole piece is very thoughtfully built. This has led to them earning a lot of praise from the outside world.

In 2023, Dickies Arena was ranked the best arena in the world within a seating capacity of 10,001-15000 by Billboard. The number two spot belonged to Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin. The Moody Center in Austin came third. Keeping in mind the rating of those arenas, the success of Dickies Arena is all the more spectacular.

Acknowledging the list, general manager Matt Homan said, “It is a tremendous honor to be named Billboard’s No. 1 venue in the world, and we will continue to bring an array of top-notch entertainment to the City of Fort Worth.” Not just Simone Biles’ Gold Over America Tour, Dickies Arena also hosts a dynamic lineup of events year-round.
