We all know that the popularity of esports is rising, but now we’re seeing cities get behind this industry in trying to attract new events and offer new opportunities. Arlington, TX is at the forefront of this new movement with the Esports Stadium Arlington, the largest esports dedicated building in North America.

Just like most businesses in the US, the Esports Stadium saw a massive dip in traffic, but now that Texas is open back up, the stadium is getting ready to host a whole line-up of events. In this episode of All In With Esports, Lewis is joined by Luke Bauer, the President of the Esports Stadium Arlington.

Luke shares his journey from going from loving gaming to becoming president of this organization, what’s on the horizon, and how they plan on having a 2021 that’s bigger than ever!
