The Convention Center has a 13,500 seat arena; 182,266 Sq. Ft. Exhibit Hall; 41 Meeting Rooms; 28,160 Sq. Ft. Ballroom for meal events or meetings.
The Center started out as the Tarrant County Convention Center, constructed in 1968. It was expanded in 1983. The City of Fort Worth bought it from Tarrant County in 1997 and expanded it twice more, in 2002 and 2003.
During the mid-1990s, the building was home to the Fort Worth Fire and Fort Worth Brahmas ice hockey teams, as well as the Arena Football League's Fort Worth Cavalry. At one time it was also the temporary home of the San Antonio Spurs. For a time it also hosted home games for the Dallas Chaparrals of the American Basketball Association. The arena also hosted the 1992 Davis Cup final, which saw the United States defeat Switzerland. The Metallica DVD Cunning Stunts was also recorded here on May 9th and 10th 1997.
