8legs: Plano city council

#1 out of 1

Explaining the Dallas Stars’ proposed Plano move: What’s next for their arena deal?

Plano approves a non-binding letter of intent allowing talks on a new Stars arena and district as the team eyes Plano as a future home.
Public funds up to $700 million would back the $1 billion arena as part of a 30-year tax-increment zone.
The Stars would sign a 30-year lease to keep all arena revenue, including sponsorship and naming rights.
Construction could begin in 2028 to have the arena ready for the 2031-32 season.
The district center would be built near The Shops at Willow Bend on land planned for redevelopment.
Plano plans open houses, traffic modeling, and additional transit options as part of the review.
The project aims to open community input channels and prepare development plans through an Arena Master Agreement.
Plan includes hosting community input and mobility studies to assess traffic impact.
The Stars moved from Minnesota to Texas in 1993 and have since played at venues including Reunion Arena and the American Airlines Center.
