If you’re all caught up on our free, daily newsletter, then you probably know that by next year, the Fort Worth Convention Center (FWCC) arena will be demolished.
Currently, the FWCC is undergoing $701 million worth of renovations. With phase one complete, the city is moving into phase two, which includes demolishing the arena and constructing a completely new, modernized version of the building.
Since its opening in 1968, the arena has grown to become Fort Worth’s premier event venue. That is, until Dickies Arena took center stage in 2019.
Over the years, the arena has welcomed some pretty big events — even names. Elvis, The Rolling Stones, and Led Zeppelin are just some of the legends that have taken the stage. But just because the arena will be bulldozed, doesn’t mean our memories have to be.
We know we’re probably missing dozens more memories. That’s why we’re calling on you to remind us. Do you have a favorite memory at the arena? Tell us about it here for a chance at being featured in our newsletter.
