About American Airlines Center

American Airlines Center

When you're planning a trip to catch the Dallas Mavericks or Stars in action, you'll find yourself in Victory Park, a vibrant downtown Dallas district where the American Airlines Center reigns as the crown jewel. This isn't just another cookie-cutter arena—since welcoming its first visitors in 2001, the AAC has established itself as one of the premier destinations in Texas for world-class basketball, hockey, and concerts. Whether you're a die-hard NBA fan ready to witness the Mavericks' high-flying offense or a hockey enthusiast eager to catch the Stars defending their ice, this state-of-the-art facility delivers an electric atmosphere that elevates every event.

Beyond the hardwood and ice, the American Airlines Center transforms into an entertainment powerhouse hosting the biggest names in music and live performances. The arena's location in Victory Park means you're steps away from pre-game dining, nightlife, and hotel options, making it incredibly convenient for out-of-town visitors. Plan to arrive early to soak up the energetic district atmosphere, grab a bite at one of the nearby restaurants, and explore the arena's modern amenities before the opening tip-off or puck drop.
