AMERICAN AIRLINES CENTER |
Nicknamed the AAC,
American Airlines
Center, home of the Dallas Mavericks is one of the best arenas in the
NBA. The Dallas Mavericks were founded in 1980 and began playing during
the 1980-81 season. For over 20 seasons the Mavericks played at Reunion
Arena, a 17,000 seat facility that was also the home of the Dallas Stars
(NHL). Towards the end of the 1990s both the Mavericks and Stars wanted
a new arena because Reunion Arena had become outdated. The city and both
teams worked together as a new hotel and car rental tax was passed,
along with the teams paying their share, helping pay for the $420 million
arena. American Airlines bought the naming rights in 1999 for $195
million.

American Airlines
Center was constructed in Victory
Park in order to help revitalize and
redevelop the area into mix use development that includes the arena,
housing and commercial spaces. From the exterior, the arena is a massive
structure that has a façade of brick and glass arches. Because of the
design, American
Airlines Center
has won numerous architectural awards. The Mavericks played their first game
at the arena on October 30, 2001
against the Detroit Pistons. American Airlines
Center has a seating capacity of 19,200 with 142 luxury suites and 1,600
club seats. Fans attending Mavericks games can check out the Jack Daniels
Old No. 7 Club, the Miller Lite SkyBar and Dr. Pepper Bottling Plant for
food and beverages. With an owner that gets very involved into games like
Mark Cuban and a team that has had a winning record since moving into the
American Airlines
Center, Mavericks games are some of the best to attend in the NBA.
