We are learning more about the proposed arena in Plano set to be the new home of the Dallas Stars.<\/p>\n
Much like the existing American Airlines Center, the new home for the Stars will be used for other events too, not just hockey. <\/p>\n
That is the goal of Mayor John Muns who says for years Plano high schools have not held their graduations within the City limits.<\/p>\n
“It’s really a big deal to the community that’s been here a long time,” Mayor Muns said. “We’ve been all over North Texas doing graduations.”<\/p>\n
That’s just one idea. Also, concerts appropriate to the venue’s size. He says some would be at capacity but maybe not all of them. <\/p>\n
“You have the big stadium groups and performers, and then you have these that would rather be in an arena like this size,” Muns said.<\/p>\n
This week the City voted to put together a tax package to go before the voters to help pay for the new arena and entertainment district. <\/p>\n
The Dallas Stars propose a new arena and entertainment district at The Shops at Willow Bend to be opened in 2031.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We are learning more about the proposed arena in Plano set to be the new home of the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":404715,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[1115,141730,160,162,161,43764],"class_list":["post-404714","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-plano","tag-dallas-stars","tag-north-texas-sports","tag-plano","tag-plano-headlines","tag-plano-news","tag-plano-texas"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/404714","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=404714"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/404714\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/404715"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=404714"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=404714"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=404714"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
