I love the Platinum level. Nice bathrooms, less people, in-seat wait service, premium beer and alcohol selections. But most importantly a great view of the Mavs or Stars game as well as concerts.

Arena resembles an old train station. Eat at nearby Victory Tavern. Lots to do in the AT&T Plaza before the game. If you need help deciding which Seats to purchase for your next Stars game, check out Read more

Of all the event places I have been, this has got to be the easiest place to get in and out of. I didn’t have to go around the block just to figure out where I was going. It was all well marked.

Very clean and modern for a sports stadium. The concourses are wide and the seats are comfy, you won't feel like a sardine watching the game. Check out the Dr. Pepper Fan Zone, with DP-infused food!

Plenty of parking close to the arena. There's a bar/restaurant on the first level that let's you go outside and return without scanning your ticket. Nice to have a beer and a smoke at the same time.

At Stars games, the US & Canadian national anthems are performed by the beautiful and talented Celena Rae. Stars fans have a tradition during the singing of the US anthem that no other team can have.

I'll come here to watch hockey but sometimes I get distracted and end up just using the very nice restrooms- there's lots of them. Then there's day when I get here and the pace is locked up.

Great fast food choices and seating was comfortable for a family event.

Orange parking is worth the price. It is easier to park. When you exit the lot, the police officers stop the oncoming traffic and pedestrians to allow you to exit quickly.

The Lost and Found is open 24 hours a day. Call them and you can pick it up on the West side entrance near the fan shop, at the employees entrance.

Not a bad seat in the house. I was in the nosebleeds and could see all the action perfectly.

Did you know that AAC has many special features include retractable seating and more than $3 million in public art? That....and AAC is home to the Dallas Mavericks and the Dallas Stars!

Great game last night, to get good tickets look at promo codes.. I got free tickets from the company promo codes...
HISTORYApril 5, 2010
It was built not only as the home of the Dallas Stars & the Dallas Mavericks, but also for other entertainment. Special features include retractable seating and more than $3 million in public art.

Games are fun and it's a great place for shows, just try to arrive early, parkings are full, like it.... Go mavs!!

Obviously a little biased, but easily my favorite hockey barn. An excellent place to watch a game.

Plantinum club seats are awesome! Can order food & drinks from your seat. So worth the $. This stadium is amazing!
Jamie MonahanAugust 24, 2014
One of my favorite stadiums in the NBA. Great game experience.

Great all purpose arena, looks especially good with that Mavs championship banner hanging in the rafters. Time to add another!

Great concert venue. Been to a lot of good shows there. Beer is overpriced though but its a huge venue so what do you expect.

The outdoor patio of the Jack Daniel's Old No' 7 club has some world-class people watching before and after games. And cocktails. You're welcome.

Home of the Dallas Mavericks, the 2011 NBA Champions. Also, home of the Dallas Stars, the 1999 Stanley Cup Champions.

Best hockey seats are not where you'd think. Try the North goal. Watch the Stars attack directly at you 2 of 3 periods. Cheaper tickets too.

Skip ticketmaster and buy your tickets at the AAC box office. You'll save lots on the convenience fees and often get better ticket options.

This is a sick spot to skate. Once in a while you can catch a good contest called D-Town throwdown to see the heavy hitters jump down the stairs.

Good venue... But of course beer & food are way over priced. Also, if you're a smoker, you can only take your drink with you outside on the platinum level. Otherwise, you have to go out the front.
ᴡ TroyAugust 17, 2012
I worked there from 2008 to 2010. Got to meet NBA and NHL stars, as well as performers ranging from Tina Turner to Sarah Brightman to Beyoncè

Home of Champion Mavs and serving Dallas Stars, American Airlines Center also hosts some great live concerts.

If you have tickets in the 300 level seats...bring oxygen tank!

The event was very good. The arena was very clean.

Anyone know where to park for free ? Willing to walk the distance if necessary.

you can't buy iced tea here from the food vendors, only from the stall opposite 106 and it's Snapple in a bottle :s

Be ON TIME to Stars and Mavs games! So annoying how everyone in Dallas is more worried about the looks than the our National Anthem! Go STARS!!!
