It will be &#8220;a 70,700 sqft practice facility with two courts, a 3,800 sqft locker room, player lifestyle suite with hair and nail salon, content studio, family lounge, mother rooms, over 4,000 square feet of strength and conditioning space, full-service dining facility, and community space.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_1g3fpzdr6\">They believe the facility should be done by the start of the 2026 WNBA season, which may end up delayed due to a likely lockout as CBA negotiations with the WNBA are still ongoing. That CBA expires on Halloween, and the two sides seem nowhere close. <\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_tvqu9ax84\">Dallas approved the facility a few days ago, which is set to cost about $48.6 million, although the Dallas Wings are only paying about $3.1 million of that. Here are some renderings of the new facility. <\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Dallas Wings break ground today on a 70,700 sqft practice facility with two courts, a 3,800 sqft locker room, player lifestyle suite with hair and nail salon, content studio, family lounge, mother rooms, over 4,000 square feet of strength and conditioning space, full-service\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/z6OAEY4Ooq\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/z6OAEY4Ooq<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Dallas Wings (@DallasWings) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DallasWings\/status\/1971594086776778859?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">September 26, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p lang=\"zxx\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/KqT8hZoXBD\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/KqT8hZoXBD<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Dallas Wings (@DallasWings) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DallasWings\/status\/1971595442531234284?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">September 26, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_seecvhsft\"><a class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_7hjs5u\" href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/wnba\/wings\/paige-bueckers\/paige-bueckers-drops-hilarious-comment-flaujae-johnson-prank-kim-mulkey-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">READ MORE: Paige Bueckers drops hilarious comment on Flau\u2019jae Johnson&#8217;s prank with Kim Mulkey<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_iutpj302a\">Having a part of the facility that is available for public use was important to the city, as it&#8217;ll host planned activities, community events, youth clinics, and more. The Wings haven&#8217;t been the only team in Dallas seeking a new facility recently, as the Mavericks are looking for land to build their new arena as they look to leave the American Airlines Center. <\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_k66932hxd\">The Wings have a superstar on their hands with Paige Bueckers, who was the runaway winner for the Rookie of the Year, and could be on an All-WNBA team once those are announced. It&#8217;s obvious that she is the face of the franchise moving forward, and they&#8217;ll need to find a way to surround her with the best talent possible moving forward. <\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_291uz7il0\">It&#8217;s a pivotal offseason for the Wings, as they have to make a decision on four-time All-Star Arike Ogunbowale, who is set to be a free agent this offseason. It seems like they want to bring her back, but she may not be the best fit alongside Bueckers moving forward. Ogunbowale&#8217;s numbers took a significant hit with Bueckers on the roster this season. Many fans wanted the team to trade her at the deadline to get some assets back for her for that reason. <\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_nxn3xerre\"><a class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_7hjs5u\" href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/wnba\/wings\/paige-bueckers\/wnba-rookie-of-the-year-paige-bueckers-shares-unique-connection-nba-roty-stephon-castle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">READ MORE: WNBA&#8217;s Rookie of the Year Paige Bueckers shares unique connection with NBA&#8217;s ROTY<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_vrou1a8al\">Stick with\u00a0WingsGameday\u00a0for more\u00a0<a class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_7hjs5u\" href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/wnba\/wings\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">FREE coverage of the Dallas Wings<\/a>\u00a0throughout the 2025 Season.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Dallas Wings announced on Friday that they have broken ground on a new practice facility in the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":171206,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[629],"tags":[49,48,82,630],"class_list":{"0":"post-171205","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wnba","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-wnba"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171205","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=171205"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171205\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/171206"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=171205"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=171205"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=171205"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
