The Fort Bend County Epicenter, located just north of the county fairgrounds, opens for business this weekend. The $120 million, 230,000-square foot sports and entertainment venue is situated in Rosenberg, SW of Houston.

The Houston Business Journal reports the multipurpose venue has a fixed-seating capacity of 8,600 — which can be raised to 10,000 with floor seating — and can be configured to accommodate six basketball courts or 12 volleyball courts. The project also features a 38,000-square-foot covered outdoor pavilion, 5,000 square feet of meeting and conference room space, a VIP lounge, four concession stands and four locker rooms. The Epicenter has already booked a number of club and school sports competitions, as well as two televised events, a Top Rank Boxing match on ESPN and All Elite Wrestling on TBS.

The project was funded through a public-private partnership, with the county leasing the facility for 30 years, after which it will own the property. Sugar Land-based Stonehenge Holdings LLC is the developer of the project. 

Connect Texas Multifamily 2023 will take place on Aug. 22, 2023 at Virgin Hotel in Dallas. Click here for more information and to register.
