100,000 square foot Esports arena coming to Columbus

A massive new Esports stadium is on its way to The Arch City.

Glytch, an Esports entertainment company, plans to open a 100,000 square foot esports arena in Columbus, complete with a broadcasting studio and seating for 2,000 spectators. The arena will be one of 32 that Glytch creates across the United States and Canada over the next seven years.

“Ohio has a booming esports fan base and we are proud to be serving the Buckeye State with a true, professional esports stadium,” Michael Williams, chief visionary officer for Glytch, said in a press release. “We firmly believe this is the next step in esports.”

A location for the new venue has not been announced, but it is likely to break ground later this year, with an opening in 2024 or 2025.
