"Dallas is clearly the star," says Sports Business Journal in its new ranking of the Top 50 Best Sports Business Cities. So what put Dallas (and its wider local market including Fort Worth, Arlington, Frisco, and Grand Prairie) on top? From big relocations to 26 sports properties to 64 sponsors and fans galore, here's the scoop.
United Way of Tarrant County celebrated its 100th birthday with a community event Thursday at Globe Life Field in Arlington, featuring a long list of dignitaries and guests. "Get United Day" launched a new campaign targeting four key areas of need in Tarrant County.
The Get United campaign aims "to engage the public, businesses, and philanthropists in achieving a more prosperous and equitable future in Tarrant County."
The 300-unit One Rangers Way will be "one of the most luxurious, resort-style apartment communities in the country" when it opens in 2024, the city of Arlington says. Just a short walk from Choctaw Stadium, Globe Life Field, and AT&T Stadium, it will provide the "missing piece" at the heart of the Arlington Entertainment District, said Rangers EVP Rob Matwick.
"One of the things that was very important to our company, to the Rangers, to the city, was that we create a 365 community and a heartbeat for the city," Blake Cordish, principal at The Cordish Companies, said at the groundbreaking. “To do that, you need great residential."
Entrepreneurs who park their laptops in Spark Arlington this winter will get more than the usual coworking amenities. They'll also get two-level views of Choctaw Stadium's playing field, as well as views of the Texas Rangers' new home right next door.
The 30,000-square-foot coworking facility is part of nearly $1 billion in new development in the Arlington Entertainment District.
