history
In 1998, the Dallas Mavericks and the Dallas Stars decided that the aging Reunion Arena was no longer up to date and that a modern multi-purpose hall had to be built. In March 1999 American Airlines announced that it had acquired the naming rights for the hall (it is also the namesake of the American Airlines Arena in Miami , Florida ).
The hall was opened on July 17, 2001. The hall has been modernized and renewed several times since it opened. Most noticeable change was the installation of a new LED - video cube in the arena. Some fans call it The Hangar , or simply AAC for short, because of its design and the fact that an airline owns the naming rights .
