University Of North Carolina Greensboro Opens New Esports Arena

The University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) has opened its first-ever esports gaming arena. The Spartan facility can host up to 48 players at a time with 12 computers in a center section of the facility to showcase esports athletes with the university.  

More than 100 faculty members are currently writing a curriculum that touches on sports marketing within esports and sports medicine with esports athletes.

“I found out that we have some in kinesiology that have put in a grant proposal,” said Chancellor Franklin D. Gilliam Jr. “So we are building academic programs, research programs around esports gaming as well.”

UNCG’s esports arena will also play host to summer camps for middle school students who want to explore the possibility of a career in professional gaming or those industries that work in connection with it.
