Dickies Arena Does It Again
Fifth straight nomination for ACM “Arena of the Year”
Fort Worth’s premier venue continues its winning streak. Dickies Arena has earned its
fifth consecutive nomination for the Academy of Country Music’s
Arena of the Year, solidifying its place among the nation’s top performance halls.
Since opening, the arena has hosted chart‑topping artists, championship rodeos, and nationally televised events — and the ACM keeps taking notice. For many locals, the nomination is more than an industry nod; it’s a point of hometown pride.

Stockyards BBQ Fest is drawing crowds from across North Texas with:

Education & Accountability
FWISD Shake‑Up Continues
Trustees sidelined as state takeover deepens
A dramatic shift in district leadership is unfolding. Fort Worth ISD trustees — elected by
voters — have been stripped of authority and have reportedly lost access to
their district email accounts as Texas Education Agency–appointed directors assume control.
Parents across the district are demanding transparency, clarity and a clear explanation of what comes next for their schools, their students and their community. Community meetings have grown tense, with many questioning how long the takeover will last and what it will mean for classrooms on the ground.
