What To Know About The Fort Worth Convention Center

In 2024, the ACA Grand Nationals returns to Fort Worth, Texas, and the Fort Worth Convention Center. 

The venue is less than 30 minutes from the DFW International Airport and is located in the heart of downtown Fort Worth, which means proximity to shopping, galleries, delicious restaurants, event spaces and venues – plus the Sundance Square entertainment district, historic Fort Worth Stockyards and Billy Bob’s Texas, the world’s largest honky-tonk.

The Fort Worth Convention Center offers more than 250,000 square feet of exhibit space, meeting rooms, a ballroom, seating for up to 13,000 and an events plaza that connects to the unique Fort Worth Water Gardens.

When you think of cowboys and life in the Old West, you’re probably picturing Fort Worth and the cities that surround it. 

Sure, the area might be a little more modern than the movies, but there’s still the opportunity to catch a cattle drive, learn about cowboy culture in the Stockyards National District, watch the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo, get down at the world’s largest honky-tonk or pick up some awesome souvenirs.

If you happened to do all those things on a previous visit to the area, there are plenty of museums, galleries, gardens, historic locations, lakes, shops, festivals, sporting events and amusement parks to check out. Or the Fort Worth Zoo. Or the Texas Motor Speedway. 

Take a look at all the neighborhoods and districts that make up Fort Worth.

For those with a little more time, venturing out to Arlington or Dallas would offer the opportunity to enjoy so many more aspects of the Texas experience.

The League by Varsity All Star

The League by Varsity All Star presented by Corksicle is the official ranking system for the sport of All Star cheerleading, changing the conversation from “Who won the weekend?” to “Who ranks at the top this season?” 

Every team that competes at a Varsity All Star Event this season will be included in The League by Varsity All Star. 

Team rankings are determined by the Points System displayed here. At each Varsity All Star event your team competes, your team will earn points based on the assigned event and placement point value. 

At the end of the season, your five best Varsity All Star event scores will be used to calculate your final rank. 

In total, 120 winners will be recognized from first to third place across each region. One champion will be crowned in each of the five regions across the eight eligible divisions, meaning 40 champions will be awarded in total. Champions will win cash and prizes!
