Irving Zoning Approval Moves Casino Resort and Arena Project Forward
Irving, TX — January 30, 2026 — A zoning change in Irving could pave the way for a casino resort and arena near the former Texas Stadium site, despite current state prohibitions on casino gambling.

While some council members support the development, others have raised concerns about its potential social impact. The City Council is expected to discuss the matter at its next meeting on March 20, 2025.
