The Dallas Mavericks have selected the former Valley View Mall site for their new arena, opting against a downtown Dallas location. This decision aligns with the team's timeline for construction, aiming to have the venue ready by the end of their lease at American Airlines Center in July 2031. The Valley View site offers over 100 acres, accommodating the team's requirement for a larger footprint without the complications of demolishing existing structures, as would have been necessary in the downtown area. The Mavericks plan to create a mixed-use destination that includes the new arena along with restaurants and public spaces. The purchase agreements were finalized just ahead of a July 1 deadline set by the team for site selection.
