Myesports Ventures Ltd. has announced that they are creating an esports arena called The Gaming Stadium in Richmond, Canada, that's due to open next year, being custom built for esports events. The press release also says it'll be a community-driven place that's open to plays of all skills levels, who can both play games and watch competitions there.
It'll feature a large gaming stage and then have a capacity for up to 250 spectators, as well as over 40 gaming stations and a casual area where players can get involved. Not only that, but there's food and beverage capabilities too, with full broadcast facilities for those who want to stream as well.
"Today is an exciting day for me and the entire team at The Gaming Stadium. We have been working hard to get this off the ground," said CEO Dan Cybak. "Our team is made up of people who have been organizing and participating in tournaments in this city for years. We have built a group that covers all aspects of esports. This facility is truly built by gamers for gamers."
"We are focused on more than top-level players or hosting major events. We are aiming to cultivate the next great gamers as we will be holding leagues for all skill levels while also offering coaching for those who want to take their skills to the next level," added COO Matthew Low. "We are going to be the Little League, Junior League and Major League home of all things esports in Vancouver."
