Orlando-based Full Sail University is set to open the largest esports arena on a U.S. college campus in May. “The Fortress” will seek to host a variety of professional and collegiate-level events.
The $6 million, 11,200 square-foot facility will support professional and collegiate events and tournaments. It will be able to host 100 esports athletes playing simultaneously, and has room for 500 fans.
The arena is being built in part to support Armada, the university’s collegiate level varsity esports team, which competes in games such as League of Legends, Overwatch, Rocket League, Smash Brothers, and Dragon Ball FighterZ.
