Dallas Mavericks have deal for arena site that would move club out of downtown for 1st time
- On Monday, the Dallas Mavericks announced they entered into an "option agreement" for 104 acres at the former Valley View Mall site in North Dallas near Preston Road and LBJ Freeway.
- After considering the current Dallas City Hall location, the Mavericks pursued the Valley View site to complete a new facility by 2031 when their lease at the American Airlines Center expires.
- Mavericks minority owner Mark Cuban praised the selection, saying "I like it. Accessible from 635 and the tollway," while Dallas City Councilman Adam Bazaldua noted the project keeps the franchise within city limits.
- City officials are set to debate Wednesday the future of Dallas City Hall, including potential renovation costs, as the Mavericks' decision shifts focus away from the downtown site.
- Plans for the 104-acre property include a "community anchor point" with green space, though the location currently lacks direct train access, unlike the team's existing AAC.
