The Esports Observer Covers Henderson Involvement in Development of NACE Guidelines

Following Henderson’s joint announcement with Populous and the National Association of Collegiate Esports (NACE) on the development of esports guidelines, The Esports Observer published an article by Senior Editor James Fudge covering the news. The Esports Observer is an official partner of Street & Smith’s SportsBusiness Journal, the premier source of sports business news globally, and the American City Business Journals (ACBJ), the largest publisher of metropolitan business newsweeklies in the United States, with 44 business publications across the country reaching more than 3.6 million readers each week.

Henderson, Populous, and NACE have partnered to help develop official physical build guidelines for varsity esports spaces for the emerging esports industry that is rapidly gaining popularity, especially on college campuses. Populous developed the original set of guidelines together with NACE and now Henderson Engineers has joined to expand the guidelines for the only associate of collegiate and university-sponsored esports programs that promotes education and development of students through intercollegiate esports competition. Kansas City, long known for being the global epicenter of sports facility design and location of the Henderson headquarters, is putting its mark on the emerging industry.

Henderson and Populous previously partnered to design Esports Stadium Arlington, which opened in November 2018 as the largest gaming and esports facility in North America. Located in the heart of Arlington’s entertainment district, the facility was built to serve the unique and technologically advanced demands of the esports industry. The innovative design in collaboration with the City of Arlington (Texas) was completed inside an existing convention center.
