Well...we asked for it....and here's AEW announcement #1
(with more to come)....
Globe Life Field in Arlington To Host AEW: All In
Texas 2025
First AEW Pay-Per-View To Ever Be Held In Texas
August 15, 2024 – Arlington Mayor Jim Ross, the Texas
Rangers, REV Entertainment, Arlington Sports Commission and
All Elite Wrestling today announced that Globe Life Field in
Arlington, TX will host AEW: All In Texas on Saturday, July
12, 2025.
The event will air live around the world on pay-per-view and
marks the first time an AEW pay-per-view event has ever been
held in Texas. It will also be the first-ever professional
wrestling event ever held at Globe Life Field.
“On behalf of everyone at AEW, we are ecstatic to bring AEW:
All In Texas to Globe Life Field in Arlington on July 12,
2025,” said Tony Khan. “AEW: All in Texas will make history
as both our first-ever pay-per-view in Texas as well as
AEW’s American stadium debut, building on the rich legacy of
stadium wrestling events held in the US, particularly in the
Lone Star State.”
“We are thrilled for Arlington to partner with All Elite
Wrestling for their biggest event of 2025,” said Arlington
Mayor Jim Ross. “Fans from around the world will converge on
our beautiful city to be part of AEW: All In Texas,
delivering a significant economic windfall to the region.”
“AEW: All In Texas marks a huge milestone in Arlington’s
continued relationship with All Elite Wrestling,” said
Arlington Sports Commission Executive Director Matt Wilson.
“We thank Tony Khan and the entire team at AEW for all of
their support to our city and look forward to an event that
fans in attendance and watching at home will never forget.”
"Bringing the first professional wrestling event to Globe
Life Field is a historic moment for our venue," said Sean
Decker, President of REV Entertainment, the exclusive events
partner of the Texas Rangers. "We can't wait to partner with
AEW to host thousands of passionate wrestling fans at our
world-class venue next summer."

Arlington are being planned leading up to the event.
Additional details will be announced in the near future.
This year, AEW: All In London takes place next Sunday,
August 25 live from Wembley Stadium in London.
Some notes on Globe Life Field:
It was opened in 2020, and is the home of the Texas Rangers
team of the Major League Baseball with a capacity of 40,300
for baseball. With field seating, the record attendance was
of 43,598 for a Morgan Wallet concert held in October 2022.
Other have performed here include: such as Green Day,
Metallica, Def Leppard, Lady Gaga, Red Hot Chili Peppers,
Elton John, and the Jonas Brothers. It cost $1.1 billion to
construct, has a retractable roof, and most importantly for
a Texas summer, has air-conditioning.
It's adjacent to the AT&T Stadium, the popular Dallas
Cowboys home (aka "Jerryworld"), the site of WrestleMania 32
and 38. The Esports Stadium, a location which AEW is
currently using during its Collision/Ring of Honor
residency, is also half a mile away.
