Murray State holds ribbon cutting for ESports Arena

Murray State University held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday for the official opening of the DEVsource Technology Solutions Esports Arena inside the Curris Center.

Murray State's new Esports Arena recently opened in the fall semester of 2023 as part of the major renovation of the Curris Center's interior. 

Located on the first floor of the Curris Center, the University's student center and hub of campus activities, the arena provides 30 gaming PCs, as well as console gaming, available to all Murray State students and the campus community. 

This new arena replaces the previous Esports arena located in the Collins Industry and Technology Center and open only to the University's competitive teams and for special events. 

The new Esports Arena, with DEVsource's support, offers the entire campus community opportunities to engage in innovation, computer science, skill development, competition and teamwork, and connect with people around the world through this modern and popular sport.  

Although Esports has been on Murray State's campus for a decade, the University embraced the rapidly growing interest and elevated its student club into a premier organization on campus and through the collegiate Esports landscape. 

The arena bolsters Murray State's Esports program, supports students, cultivates an interest in Esports and facilitates student recruitment for Murray State University.
