The former Macy’s store at Post Oak Mall could become the home of Texas A&M’s e-sports team.
The city of College Station, which is in the process of buying the building and surrounding parking, confirms negotiations are underway.
A city spokesman says those negotiations includes how much space A&M wants.
There has been no response to WTAW News request to A&M for information.
A tweet from A&M’s team that plays video games states that president Katherine Banks announced negotiations involve leasing an undisclosed amount of space.
The revelation of the negotiations comes about a month after mayor Karl Mooney told WTAW News that the current owner is taking care of mold in the building. A city spokesman tellsd WTAW News that as of Thursday morning, “there is no update to offer about that.”
City manager Bryan Woods issued a statement to WTAW News that the A&M e-sports project is “an exciting concept for the university, the city, and the Brazos Valley.”
