Dickies Arena is a 14,000-seat multipurpose American arena, located within the Will Rogers Memorial Center in Fort Worth, Texas.[2] The venue hosted a public ribbon cutting on October 26, 2019. The first event held was a Twenty One Pilots concert on November 8, 2019.

The facility is the result of a public-private partnership between Fort Worth, Tarrant County, the state of Texas, and a group of private-sector participants, including foundations, individuals, and organizations. The arena was designed by the 2015 Driehaus Prize winner David M. Schwarz[3] and is owned by Fort Worth and managed by the not-for-profit Multipurpose Arena Fort Worth (MAFW).

It hosts concerts, sporting events, and family entertainment, and serves as the home of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA)'s Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo since 2020 and was the home of the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) World Finals in 2022 and 2023. Beginning in 2025, the PBR will host its Last Cowboy Standing event as part of the Rodeo. The Fort Worth Stock Show and other equestrian events are held at the adjacent Will Rogers Memorial Center.
