Tired of sports teams feeling the need to build arenas with lesser seating, more luxury boxes, and owning surrounding property and just all-around pricing out everyday fans. The Stars looking to get welfare from the City of Plano and screw over the taxpayers there.
Shame on Brad Alberts who heavily supported DART and mass transit only to start lining up for a city that was all too ready to ditch DART. Shame on Brad Alberts for speaking poorly of the gorgeous arena that is the American Airlines Center. So disappointed in this franchise after seeing what the Adelson's are doing to the Mavs.

Expect to pay a lot more for those seats in the new arena. If you’re even able to get seats comparable to those. I was a STH for 9 years in 110 until the price went up to where I couldn’t afford them anymore.

We’ve been STH for a few years now, so we will see how it goes. Daughter will be in college by then so that’s one less ticket I have to pay for 😂

I love this quote from Alberts—“The Dallas Stars’ move to Plano is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Stars, the City of Plano, and its residents”
It’s more like a “once-every-30-year opportunity for the Stars’ ownership to cash-grab money from the public.”
It’ll be an aging eyesore needing replacement and they’ll find another sucker city to foot the bill.

The only disadvantage of Plano for me is that I will be priced out of my seats.
I’m also glad they aren’t moving to Arlington or FW.

Best part about the AAC is the Dart. If they put in a station by whatever new place they move to that would be ideal.
