It has hosted several events, but on Thursday, March 16, it was thrusted into the national spotlight.“We’re excited to take that spotlight now and run with it so we had a lot of people come in, showcasing the building to a national audience on TV and the NCAA and show them we can do more events like this in the future,” said Matt Homan, General Manager of Dickies Arena.Homan along with Fort Worth city officials hope to lure in more big-ticket items attracting people from all around the country.
“We today are seeing the economic benefits of that facility, of Dickies Arena allowing us to compete with concerts, sporting events, just fun and economic tourism in Fort Worth,” said Cary Moon, Fort Worth City Councilmember.“So far from what I’ve seen, yes I do believe a venue like this will bring more events like this,” added Haynes.“You have all the museums around here, the cultural district, there’s tons of restaurants and parks,” said Marquette fan Mike Burns.
Others have enjoyed being in Fort Worth but would like a little more things to do within walking distance.“I would totally love to see a little more action out here before the games and that kind of thing,” said Baylor fan Adam Henderson.The CBS DFW team is a group of experienced journalists who along with our many CBS 11 reporters, bring you content on CBSDFW.com.
