Forum 303 Mall was a shopping mall built at Pioneer Parkway (Spur 303) and SH 360inArlington, Texas in the Mid-Cities between Fort Worth and Dallas. The 800,000-square-foot (74,000 m2) complex was dedicated September 19, 1970. Interesting features of it was that it included a public ice skating rink, and a public amphitheater in the lower level. During the 1970s many local and national acts, such as Roy Clark, performed there.
It was converted to an indoor bazaar/flea market venue and renamed Festival Marketplace in 1998,[3] but that concept failed to increase mall traffic. Air-conditioner problems[4] and competition with Six Flags Mall, The Parks at Arlington, and Traders Village contributed to its 2006 demise.[5]
Demolition of it started in September 2007.[6][7] The site has been rebuilt as a business park called Pioneer 360 Business Center.[2][8]
