🚨𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆: Dallas Stars’ letter of intent and $700M public funding plan for new $3B arena district in Plano, TX has been unanimously approved in a 8-0 vote at tonight’s city council meeting, according to local media including dallasnews.

The city of Plano has approved a plan to fund $700M towards the $3B total project — retail, restaurants, public gathering spaces, and a $1B new arena that would serve as the centerpiece of the development.

The approval marks the beginning of a deliberate and transparent process to consider a potential sports and entertainment district at The Shops at Willow Bend.

The City will own the arena and is expected to have an initial 30-year lease agreement with the team; terms are still to be negotiated.

Stars CEO Brad Alberts says the hope would be to begin construction in 2028 with an opening in the 2031-32 season, right after their current lease at the American Airlines Center in Dallas expires in 2031.

The next steps for the city include getting the state comptroller to approve a call for residents to vote on a new TIRZ (Tax Incriment Reinvestment Zone), traffic modeling and mobility analysis.
