F&ED This Week

Let the games begin! The University of Texas at Dallas has officially opened the Comets LANding Gaming & Esports Center, a 15,000-gross-square-foot facility that has become the new hub for gaming-related programs on campus. This two-story building was inaugurated with a ribbon-cutting, samples from the in-house “Buffalo Wild Wings Go” dining venue, and an exhibition tournament between UTD’s varsity esports team and the UNT [University of North Texas]  Trailblazers.
