INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana lawmakers are working to figure out how the state can become a leader in the billion-dollar esports industry.Butler University opened its esports Park in 2022, a facility dedicated to this growing sector. According to the university, the investment has proven worthwhile and presents an opportunity for the state to benefit in the future.
'Esports will be a $4.75 billion industry by 2030,' Mark Apple, a spokesperson for Butler University, said. 'There are hundreds of companies and jobs that come along with that. If we can attract those jobs to Indiana, why wouldn't we want to? I think the IEDC is the perfect organization to make that happen.' Despite perceptions that esports is merely about playing video games, industry insiders argue it has the potential to grow into a similar stature as traditional sports.
