Netherlands to open first esports stadium in Amsterdam
By Jack Herbert • August 22, 2019
The Netherlands are set to open a new esports stadium in Amsterdam by the end of 2020, in an attempt to compete with other European countries. The Rabo Esports Stadium Amsterdam will be a hub of sorts for esports, gaming, and technology. The campus will span 10,000 square meters and is sponsored by Rabobank and H20 Esports. Despite the stadium not even being built yet, there are already 75 days booked for events next year at Rabo Esports Stadium Amsterdam. Many other countries have started to invest in competitive gaming in the form of esports arenas. With the Overwatch league and the upcoming Call of Duty league moving to a city-based franchise model, it’s likely we will see many more nations make the jump into esports with arenas or stadiums.
