With more details about the design of the area now available, it’s looking like Toronto’s future esports arena will include an enormous LED screen, which will wrap across the south side of the venue. While the exact dimensions of the screen have yet to be shared, it would be viewable to the surrounding neighborhood, giving the area an innovative glow.
Global design firm Populous proposed the plan alongside OverActive Media (OAM), which is invested in part by The Weeknd and Toronto Maple Leafs star Mitch Marner last February. OAM owns four major esports franchises, including the Toronto Ultra of the Call of Duty league and Toronto Defiant of the Overwatch League. On top of the arena, the proposed plan includes a 30-story hotel that will be connected to the 7,000 seat venue.
Though the venue will focus predominantly on esports, it will also be used for concerts, speaking events, awards shows, and other large-scale events.
The venue was approved by Toronto City Council in December, and is set to be completed in 2025.
