The Fort Worth Convention Center opened in 1968 and featured the existing arena, 100,000 square feet
of exhibit space and a full performing arts theatre. The City purchased the venue from Tarrant County in
1997 and has invested over $80,000,000.00 in the renovation and expansion oft the facility, primarily
addressing exhibit and meeting spaces. Although millions of dollars have been invested in the HVAC and
other infrastructure improvements in the facility„ the interior of the arena has not been renovated, except
forte lower bowl seats in early 2003. The Arena shoves the wear and tear of thousands of guests who
have visited the facility to enjoy concerts, attend motivational rallies, watch children graduate from high
school or experience the thrill of the Circus., While the plans for Phase III oft the Convention Center
expansion call for the arena to be removed in eight to ten years„ the space will be used thousands of
guests in the interim. The staffs of the Public Events Department and the Fort Worth Convention an
Visitors Bureau agree that the rehabilitation of the arena seating is imperative to continue to book events
into the venue.
