University of Texas Longhorn fans could soon be filling a new venue dedicated to watching esports.
Longhorn Gaming is a group of UT students who have a passion for gaming. The group has been around for 11 years and continues to grow, just like the gaming industry. It has grown so much it just became a sponsored organization at UT, and with that, they are now looking to add a gaming arena.

The director of facilities at UT said, “There is a noticeable void of an esports space on campus. We envision 24 to 30 stations where players can compete and we will have a place people can watch.”
The entire arena build and upgrades are estimated to cost about $1.5 million. The arena could be done at the end of next year.
