<\/p>\nDALLAS – With the Republican midterm convention set to be held at the American Airlines Center from Sept. 9 to Sept. 10, various parts of Downtown Dallas will be closed off this week.<\/p>\n
RNC causes Dallas closures <\/p>\n
Expected street closures for RNC midterm convention <\/p>\n
Local perspective:<\/p>\n
Dallas will host the first ever Republican Midterm Convention<\/a> on Sept. 9-10. That means streets surrounding the event will be altered for its duration.<\/p>\n Several streets will be closed near the American Airlines Center from Sept. 7 until midnight on Sept. 11. Affected streets include: Victory Avenue, North Houston Street, Nowitzki Way, Payne Street, and North Field Street.<\/p>\n The DART Victory Park station will also be closed during the event. No Uber or Lyft rideshares will be allowed in the “secure zone” around the convention.<\/p>\n Crews were seen installing temporary fencing around the area surrounding the American Airlines Center last week, and Secret Service agents were seen inspecting the area.<\/p>\n The Secret Service says checkpoints will be required for both foot traffic and vehicle traffic around the arena for the duration of the convention.<\/p>\n Dallas is estimating<\/a> a $1.8 million cost for Dallas Police to provide security for the event.<\/p>\n Local perspective:<\/p>\n The Republican midterm convention will bring the power brokers of the party to Dallas.<\/p>\n Each day will be split into two blocks. The first block will occur from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., and the second block will run from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.<\/p>\n On the first night, segments will focus on tax cuts, healthcare affordability, the border, trade and domestic manufacturing.\u00a0<\/p>\n Night two will highlight families benefiting from policies like no tax on tips, overtime, and Social Security. The night will also feature a tribute to conservative activist Charlie Kirk.<\/p>\n Vice President J.D. Vance will keynote the first night of the convention. President Donald Trump will keynote the second night, but will appear both nights.<\/p>\n What’s next:<\/p>\n The RNC midterm convention begins at 3 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 9.<\/p>\n Expect streets around the American Airlines Center to be closed starting on Sept. 7.<\/p>\n The Source: Information in this story comes from previous FOX 4 reporting.<\/p>\n Dallas<\/a>Texas Politics<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"DALLAS – With the Republican midterm convention set to be held at the American Airlines Center from Sept.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":428720,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[102,581,104,103,223,216,395,393],"class_list":["post-428719","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas","tag-dallas","tag-dallas-county","tag-dallas-headlines","tag-dallas-news","tag-news","tag-tx","tag-tx-politics","tag-us"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/428719","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=428719"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/428719\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/428720"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=428719"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=428719"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=428719"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Security](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/1788784703_190_l1y9ed28etmg4zn1.jpg\")
