The teams have had uneven starts to their 25th seasons as American Airlines Center’s tenant couple, but their struggles on the court and the ice appear benign compared to the behind-the-scenes strife in the organizations’ relationship.
Late Tuesday morning, Mavericks ownership filed in Texas Business Court a 253-page petition for injunctive relief against Stars ownership, seeking legal finality on a breach of contract dispute the Mavericks raised in October 2024.
The Mavericks allege the Stars are in breach of a clause in their 1998 franchise agreement that requires their corporate headquarters to be located within the city of Dallas, while also claiming in the injunction that the Stars have obstructed further maintenance and improvements to American Airlines Center. The Stars’ headquarters and practice facility have been located in Frisco since 2003.
Both the Stars and Mavericks, who have shared the arena since it opened in 2001, could leave AAC after the current lease ends in 2031, with the Mavericks seeking to build a new basketball-only arena in Dallas and the Stars entertaining offers from other cities, including Plano. The News also reported Tuesday that the Stars are eyeing a $1 billion arena at the Shops at Willow Bend Mall site.

After going to see the LA Clippers’ at the new arena (Intuit Dome), located in Inglewood. The $2 billion, state-of-the-art venue sets a new bar for the other NBA teams so I can see every ownership group looking at their situation and setting new goals
Man I hate sports teams always wanting new stadiums. Been to the AAC many times for both stars and mavs games and it’s such a nice facility that I see 0 need to replace at any time in the near future. It’s location is also fantastic right in downtown compared to where both seemingly want to move to (out in the suburbs surrounded by parking)
I support the Dallas Stars
All part of the plan to bring the team to Vegas. They know what they’re doing
Willow Bend site makes sense. It’s practically a dead mall and the parking garages are already built.
So the Stars want a new arena, and the Mavs want a new arena. And they are fighting in court about which one gets stuck in the AAC while the other leaves to build a new arena? Man, billionaires really don't have better ways to spend their money.
This will be a bad look on the city of Dallas if they let both the Stars and Mavs leave. You already don't have the Cowboys, Rangers and FC Dallas playing within the city limits. Now…. the Stars and Mavs? Worthless leadership by the city and it's been this way for a long time.
I can tell you right now almost if not everyone in Dallas is on the stars side. The new ownership has ruined basketball for the fans in Dallas and the rest of the metroplex.
New owners didn't get their Casino in DFW so they are going to take the team to Vegas
Mavs can’t handle that a hockey team is now the best sports team in the Metroplex. 🤣
Years ago two different ownerships wound pay their rent collect ticket sales and other sales and call it a day.
CORPORATE GREED!!! In the end no matter what happens, mark my word, the tax payers get screwed.
Not even a Mavericks fan and I miss Mark Cuban.
noone calls it double a c brodie
The mavs have had plans to build a new stadium on the Texas Stadium site for years, Stars wanted to stay. The plano plans are clearly a backup if this goes too far south
The Stars have ALWAYS had their HQ outside Dallas, they were in Valley Ranch before Frisco.
Mavs owner is a POS and is tanking team to move to dying Vegas 😂😂😂
Atlanta Thrashers and Atlanta Hawks went through this, and it ended up with the Thrashers leaving. The NBA is a bully in buildings, and I don't think it's wise for NHL teams to share new venues going forward. The NBA doesn't care about anything but themselves, gambling, and social media cred.
This is just positioning by Adelson so she can move the Mavs to Vegas in 2031. The Stars aren't going anywhere except maybe Plano/Frisco. STH
Also important to note that the phase in question was the final phase of refresh. A few years back the building got a new roof. Then a couple years ago all new seats and a new lower bowl seat system. Additionally a new Center Scoreboard (massive) and new 4 Nm Ribbons triple stacked around the Rims, 2 new endboards at the top at each end, and a new board on Victory Plaza outside. A contract was just signed to refresh Corridors, Concessions, replace escalators, elevators etc that work begins in 2026. The building is practically new.
I went to the AAC last season to watch Winnipeg vs Dallas. That venue is GORGEOUS!!!!!
So of course it's not surprising the Mavericks are being toxic because they want a shiny new toy all to themselves.
Move the Stars back to Minnesota lol
Fuck the Adelsons
No sympathy for the stars sincerely Minnesota
Houston Aeros
The ironic thing about the A's-Raiders Coliseum situation is that beginning in 2028 both the A's & Raiders are projected to be in the same city again this time in Vegas, though they will be playing in separate venues (though I think the A's will pivot to moving to Utah due to the guaranteed funding for a new ballpark there & all of the funding problems associated with their new stadium in Vegas.)
Im on the mavs side fuck the stars. Hahahaha
It feels like the Mavs new owners are finding a way to demoralize fans to justify a move
The weirdest part about the Stars and Mavs fighting over the AAC is that it sure seems like both teams are intent on leaving it. The second weirdest part of it is that the AAC is still one of the ten newest arenas in the NHL. And it's still one of the nicer ones, but alas the area around the arena is largely developed by business that aren't the Stars or Mavs, so it's go bye bye time. And that makes me sad.
dude. the AAC is NOT, i repeat, NOT, an aging venue!!!! it is STILL a very top notch arena. some say its stilll literally in the top 10 of both nba and nhl arenas! its SOOOOO nice!!
Aren’t the Mavs trying to get a new arena with a casino and entertainment area?
After seeing this, I'm glad that the Mammoth and Jazz have the same ownership group in Utah. You have Jazz players at Mammoth games and Mammoth players at Jazz games. They even announced that they're building a new practice facility for the Jazz next door to the new Mammoth facility and they'll be connected so the players can interact with each other!
8:49 – "built at the turn of the century" still messes me up because yeah, I know that Y2K was *a* turn of the century but in my mind it's not *THE* turn of the century…
That being said, there's a similar situation going on in Philly between the 76ers and the Flyers who currently share the same venue but the Sixers have been trying to build a new arena for the better part of a decade but the umbrella corporation that owns the current building also owns the Flyers and it's in their financial best interest to undermine the Sixers plan to move out
The Adelson family ate horrible people. Mark Cuban is a jerk for selling the team to the devils. I have zero respect for Cuban after the sell. Cuban is the Howard Schultz of Dallas. He sold the team knowing that those people want to move the team to Vegas. Clay Bennett NEVER wanted to own the Seattle Supersonics. He wanted Oklahoma City to have an NBA team.
should throw stars out and send them back to minny where they belong. mavs were in dallas before the stolen stars arrived. and y'all SAPS for paying big time sports $$$'s.
It looks to me like both teams don’t want to be left holding a bag at the other’s actions. That is why each team has done what it has. Nothing personal, just business.
I see this happening with the Celtics & Bruins
Automatically siding with the Mavs, the stars have done 1. This 2. Took a hockey team out of MINNESOTA 3. Created a ridiculous monopoly on kids hockey
i’m a stars ticket holder i see nothing wrong with arena . definitely seems the Mavs want out but now i hear the stars want to move closer to their fan base in northern burbs on Plano / frisco area . location actually will be amazing though
The AAC is a perfectly fine arena in the middle of downtown Dallas. If either wants to leave let them pay for a new place.
If they want to go to Vegas or Seattle they could easily threaten loud enough that the NBA not wanting to lose the Dallas Market grants them an expansion team while they sell the Mavs to local ownership for a tidy profit.
Thank God things stuff like this hasn't happened here in Boston between the Celtics and Bruins. I'm stunned that this is happening in Dallas since both teams are typically competitive. You'd think Dallas has a good thing going. I can't wait to see how this whole mess plays out.
I'm not a fan of either team (I'm from Toronto), but I don't want to see either team flounder or end up moving. Both teams have become pretty iconic, and it's not good for anyone for either franchise to fail. Let the Stars go to Frisco (maybe have Dude Perfect — also from Frisco — join them in some way in the new project's construction!), and NBA can give the current Mavs ownership a new team in Vegas, while selling the Mavs to keep them in Dallas under new ownership there, who can start rebuilding trust with fans. That solves SOME of it… but sorry we can't get Luka back there… some things can't be fixed after they're broken.
Mariam adelson lives where?
The effing mavericks spent a lot of money lobbying Texas government to get gambling legal in Texas and it didn't work. Now they want to recoup their money so they're going after the Stars. Mavs move to effing vegas NOW!!!! Get the eff out NOW!!!! Stars come to Arlington Texas. There's land for your arena and village.
American Airlines should take their name off the building and save millions while the children fight over a shared toy.
It makes me so mad when teams describe their 25-year-old buildings as "aging" and then use that as fuel to pressure cities to fork over tax money. 25 years old is not old. The AAC is a great building and absolutely could go another 25 years or more with some renovations. It's smack in the middle of downtown, easily accessible by DART, and unlike a lot of modern glass blobs, it actually looks like it belongs in the area where it sits. Hell, they've already dumped millions into things like a new jumbotron and new seats.
There is absolutely no reason to throw AAC away when there are still Honda Civics on the road and driving that are older than that.
Edit: It takes stooping to a breathtaking level of awful to make Stars ownership look like the good guys, considering the kind of price-gouging and racketeering they're shamelessly engaged in at the grassroots level of the sport throughout the region. That story broke just a month or two ago.
Another edit: DFW resident here. It's "A-A-C," not "double-A-C" I don't know anyone who calls it the latter.
Seems like the Mavs went downhill when Mark Cuban left.
THIS IS PAVELSKI'S ARENA
Don’t care about hockey and hate the mavs new ownership….so whatever
American airlines center is a pretty great arena but they shouldn't share arenas
