In addition to hosting the American Athletic Conference Men’s and Women’s Basketball Championships, Dickies Arena is home to the Fort Worth Stock Show rodeo performances and the Panther City Lacrosse Club of the National Lacrosse League. The 14,000 seat, spectacular multipurpose venue opened in 2019 as the result of a pioneering public-private partnership between the City of Fort Worth, Tarrant County, the State of Texas and a group of private-sector participants, including foundations, individuals and organizations.
