Key takeaway This agreement ensures the center will remain the home of both teams through the 2030-31 season.
The Dallas Mavericks and Dallas Stars have reached an agreement regarding the American Airlines Center. This agreement ensures the center will remain the home of both teams through the 2030-31 season. Previously, the teams were involved in a legal dispute over the center, but it did not go to trial.
Despite this agreement, both teams had explored moving to new locations. The Stars are working with Plano on a new stadium, and the Mavericks had considered purchasing land at the former Valley View site. Further details about the agreement are available from the source, including the terms and any potential implications for the teams' futures in Dallas.
