by Sandra Engelland | Feb 17, 2026
A flagship community initiative is designed to raise funds for children's sports, healthy public spaces, and community art with the Texan Golden Boot sculpture in the Arlington Entertainment District and the accompanying “Buy a Brick” campaign. The organizations said that they expect the Texan Golden Boot to become one of the most photographed and recognized public artworks associated with a United States World Cup Host City, "positioning North Texas as a place where sport, culture, sustainability and community investment come together."
