The Dallas Mavericks are part of the NBA’s Western Conference and are one of five teams in the Southwest Division. The Mavericks have made the playoffs 23 times and won one championship in their short history. The “Mavs” biggest rivals are the cross-state San Antonio Spurs; the teams have met five times in the postseason.
The American Airlines Center is the home of the Mavs. The 840,000 sq. ft., 20,000 seat venue opened in 2001 at a cost of $420 million and was publicly paid for using hotel and rental car taxes. The entrance to the facility was designed by artist Athena Tacha and is named PNC Plaza, which can hold 3,000 people and incorporates an open space with fountains, retail space, and HD video displays. Inside, retractable seating can transform the basketball setting into a hockey rink for the Dallas Stars. The Center boasts state-of-the-art technology highlighted by a 1080 HD Centerhung monitor and two massive video boards at each end making the venue without a bad seat in the house. Fans who want seats to a 2021 – 2022 game have options ranging from discount tickets to luxury suites.
