I remember being here for the opening ceremonies... Big artists come in concert and it's the Home of The 2011 NBA World Champion Dallas Mavericks, as well as the Dallas Stars of the NHL... Every major city needs a 1st class venue like this... Thanks Mark Cuban(Even though you broke up a championship team)and the group that built this top... More

We've been to the AAC to see the Mavericks and the Stars, and every time has been quick and painless. Parking is easy to locate (and as low as $5 if you don't mind walking), and getting into the building & your seats is very simple. I know that people also ride the DART to get there, but we have...

Great venue, easy to park, easy access to rink. Our tickets gave us access to the Jack Daniels Lounge before the game, good food & drinks included in the game ticket.

The parking is plentiful and Dart trains have a stop right at the venue. My only real complaint is that the seats are so close together that you fell like you might fall when passing or letting people pas you when you are standing - especially higher up in the stands. Food and drink are plentiful. People who work there... More

Modern & sleek venue. Signage and staff to direct and answer questions are abundant. Suite or nose bleed, there isn't a bad seat in the house. Seating/venue set up adapts very well to each in-house attraction.

Every seat appeared to be a great seat. Good place to take the family for a game. We really had a good time and would go back.

When taking a small plane that seats 3 across, pick a seat on the two seat side for more room to stow yr bag. My regular carryon wouldn't fit under the single seat side.

Great place, great atmosphere, reasonable prices for beer and food. On leaving to walk back to hotel were given the wrong directions by staff and ended up getting a lift back to hotel by some lovely strangers after getting totally lost (Beer didnt help). Another staff member couldnt point us to the front of the building to get our bearings........ More

Watched a Stars game here and it was fantastic! We had good seats, but the venue feels really intimate and the middle console of TV screens really helps you to see all the action. The food area is great with lots of choice. Yes, it's expensive but then all sporting venues are. Although I liked the bottomless soda and popcorn... More
