Maverick's New Arena Thread 

Post#1 » by WC NBA Fan » Tue Apr 22, 2025 10:45 pm

Anyone have any thoughts on where you would like to see a new arena? Do you prefer a downtown location? Does it matter if it's in Dallas or outside the city?

The Adelson’s already own the land in Irving, TX where the old Texas Stadium was. If they put the arena (and casino) in the city I could see them putting it where the jail currently sits. I read recently that they are already considering moving the Lew Sterrett Justice Center in order to develop the land the jail sits on. If they wanted to build an easily accessible arena/casino in the city that would be a perfect spot to put it.

Thanks for the input. I'm guessing there are DART stations near that as well

There are certainly levels of the stupidity that has occurred in one season.

These idiot owners get denied gambling. They trade Luka, raise ticket prices, and are granted the right to gambling/casino. Who would of thought at the beginning of the season that Luka would be traded and that our team will be relocating to Ft. Worth.

Just leave Dirk's statue where it's currently placed once the team leaves.

Technically Irving is still in Dallas County. The residents in Irving protested the zoning change for the casino but word is they have been making a lot of political contributions in Irving and in Texas. They’re going to get their casino.

Not sure how many of you guys live in Dallas or how many listed to sports talk in Dallas. We have a radio station called The Ticket and one of the hosts named Junior Miller (who’s pretty respected in the sports world, he’s not just a radio guy) has an interesting observation about the Adelson’s and our Mavs.

He tells this story here about while he was on vacation he read a story about how the Oakland A’s move to Vegas came to fruition and it sounds identical to what is happening to the Mavs. I know we’ve been told countless times (even by the commissioner) that the Mavs are not moving to Vegas but if what Junior Miller happens they are in fact moving the team to Vegas.

Anyways it’s an interesting listen.

As long as it is not in Arlington and there is a DART train that stops near the arena. Arlington sucks because there is no public transportation.

At this point probably it would be good if the Adelsons take away the Mavs with all trash (Kidd, Harrison, Dumont etc etc) and Dallas has a fresh start.

The situation is desperated.

Indeed.
That would be ideal but he doesn't seem knowledgeable enough to realize.

I could respect him more if he would just clean house.

As long as there’s not a massive city bond to help out the robber barons from Vegas, I could care less.

AAC is fine

Return to Dallas Mavericks
