The Wall Street Journal - 31.07.2019

THE WALL STREET JOURNAL. Wednesday, July 31, 2019 |B7

“It’s cool getting to meet

with friends and others that

you’ve met online,” said An-

drew Lee, a data analyst who

attended a recent tournament

at the New Yorker Hotel in

Manhattan, which drew around

2,000 people, including cos-

players, over three days.

The 28-year-old said that he

met with other gamers from

Pennsylvania, Florida, Georgia

and Louisiana. Some said they

recognized him from the live

streams recorded at a weekly

tournament he attends in

Brooklyn.

New York City is increas-

ingly hosting such tourna-

ments. Last weekend, thou-

sands of fans and gamers

attended the Fortnite World

Cup event at Arthur Ashe Sta-

dium in Queens, which is more

widely known as center court

at the U.S. Open.

MGM Resorts International

last year turned a former night-

club in its Luxor Hotel & Casino

on the Las Vegas Strip into an

esports arena. The $20 million,

30,000-square-foot venue in-

cludes a 50-foot LED wall. It

drew more than 4,000 people

for a League of Legends three-

day tournament in December.

The casino and hotel com-

pany is also exploring other

ways to host esports events in

existing bars and lounges, not

just in arenas and theaters.

“We want to be as creative

as possible,” said Lovell Walker,

head of esports at MGM.

Allied Esports, the esports

entertainment company that

operates the MGM venue, said

it has been courted by other

commercial real estate land-

lords looking to draw foot traf-

fic.

Not all esports events are

profitable, and running an es-

ports stadium has its chal-

lenges. Tournament organizers

who come from the gaming

community but have little pro-

fessional experience handling

logistics for big events could

stumble on equipment failures,

cost overruns and schedule de-

lays, gamers and organizers

say.

Landlords say they also have

to figure how to engage gamers

who tend to be younger and

more tech savvy than property

executives.

Lodging companies are em-

bracing the craze, too. The New

Yorker hotel sold hundreds of

rooms during a recent tourna-

ment at the Manhattan prop-

erty with more than 1,000

rooms.

Thousands of people attended the Fortnite World Cup at Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens, N.Y.

More real-estate owners are
turning to esports arcades,
lounges and even stadiums,
hoping to breathe fresh life into
their malls, hotels and other
properties.
Esports arenas allow thou-
sands of gaming fans to watch
video content in-person, with
even more watching online. De-
velopers are remodeling con-
vention centers by adding
locker rooms, seating, broad-
cast studios, new fiber for high-
speed connectivity and massive
LED video walls similar to the
ones at Times Square.
“We’re seeing investment in
esports facilities happening on
multiple fronts,” said Brian Mi-
rakian, brand activation direc-
tor at architectural and design
firm Populous, which special-
izes in sports venues. “Live
events are going to be a critical
factor.”
Developers are spending
tens of millions of dollars in
some cases on esports stadi-
ums that host videogame
league tournaments.
A subsidiary of Comcast
Corp and Cordish Cos., a Balti-
more-based developer, are
building a $50 million venue
that will be home to Activision
Blizzard Inc.’s Philadelphia Fu-
sion, a team that competes in
Overwatch League, a shooter
videogame league.
In Arlington, Texas, city offi-
cials repurposed part of a con-
vention center to build a $10
million, 100,000-square-foot es-
ports stadium that opened late
last year.
In June, mall owner Simon
Property Group said it would
be investing $5 million to be-
come a shareholder of Allied
Esports International Inc., and
it plans to launch an esports
competition that will be held at
some of its malls in New York
and Los Angeles.
