About American Airlines Center

American Airlines Center opened in 2001 at 2500 Victory Avenue in Dallas, Texas, just north of downtown in the Victory Park district. The arena is owned by the City of Dallas and operated by Center Operating Company, an entity associated with the Mavericks and Stars ownership. Capacity is approximately 20,000 for basketball, about 18,500 for hockey, and can adjust for concert configurations up to roughly 21,000.

Known locally as The AAC and The Hangar, American Airlines Center is home to the Dallas Mavericks of the NBA and the Dallas Stars of the NHL. It also serves as a major Dallas concert and entertainment venue, hosting touring artists across genres, comedy, family productions such as ice shows and circus-style events, awards shows, and special events. Its history includes NBA Finals games during the Mavericks’ 2006 and 2011 runs and Stanley Cup Playoffs games for the Stars.

The arena’s red brick and granite exterior, twin arched entrances, and role in catalyzing the Victory Park mixed-use neighborhood make it a cornerstone of Dallas’s downtown-adjacent live-events scene.

Location & Transportation

American Airlines Center is located at 2500 Victory Avenue, Dallas, TX 75219 — in the Victory Park district north of downtown Dallas.

Transit: American Airlines Center is served by DART, with Victory Station adjacent to the arena. The station serves the Green and Orange light rail lines, plus the Trinity Railway Express commuter line, making transit a practical option from downtown and surrounding areas.

Driving and Parking: The arena is located just off Interstate 35E, also known as Stemmons Freeway, and the Woodall Rodgers Freeway. Multiple on-site and nearby parking lots and garages serve American Airlines Center and Victory Park. Lots fill closer to event time, and prepaid parking is recommended for marquee events.

Rideshare: Designated rideshare drop-off and pickup zones operate around the arena and Victory Park. After sellout games and concerts, expect waits and traffic congestion as crowds leave the area.

Nearby Accommodation: Hotels within walking distance are available in Victory Park, including upscale options. Downtown Dallas and the Uptown district also offer abundant lodging a short ride from the arena.

Venue Navigation

American Airlines Center has an enclosed arena layout with main plaza entry areas, a bowl that wraps around the playing surface or event floor, and concourses that ring the seating sections. Understanding the level structure before arrival helps you move more smoothly from entry screening to your section.

Entrances and Access: Main entrances use the arena’s signature arched entry portals on the east and west sides. Guests enter at concourse level into the main plaza areas before moving toward section portals.

Concourse Levels: The arena is organized into a lower bowl with 100-level sections, a middle tier with Platinum club seating and suites, premium and loge-style areas, and an upper bowl with 300-level sections.

Accessibility: ADA-accessible seating is available throughout the bowl across price levels. Accessible parking, restrooms, and services are also available for guests attending events at the arena.

Getting to Your Section: Clear signage and venue staff help direct guests from the main plazas to section portals. Concourses ring the bowl, which makes navigation straightforward once you know whether your seats are in the lower bowl, premium areas, or upper bowl.

Dining Options

Inside American Airlines Center

American Airlines Center offers a wide range of concessions, including traditional arena fare and local Texas specialties. Full bar and alcohol service are available, and premium club and suite areas include upgraded dining options for guests in those spaces.

Outside the Venue — Victory Park

Victory Park immediately surrounds the arena with restaurants and bars within walking distance. Downtown Dallas and the Uptown district along McKinney Avenue provide extensive additional dining options a short distance away, making it easy to plan a meal before a Mavericks game, Stars game, concert, or show.

Security & Policies

American Airlines Center maintains security and venue policies that are updated regularly and may vary by event. Before attending, reviewing the current policy on the venue's official website is strongly recommended.

Bag Policy: A clear-bag policy is typically in effect, with limits on bag size. Small clutch bags are generally permitted, and policies can vary by event.

Commonly Prohibited Items: Weapons, outside food and drink, professional cameras, laser pointers, and similar items are commonly restricted.

Re-Entry: Re-entry is generally not permitted once guests have exited. Re-entry rules can vary by event and are shown on the event listing.

How Much Do Tickets to American Airlines Center Cost?

American Airlines Center ticket prices vary widely depending on the type of event, the artist or team, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from family shows and comedy to high-demand concerts, NBA games, NHL games, and playoff dates.

For Dallas Mavericks games, standard seats are approximately $20–$150+, with courtside and premium seats far higher. Opponent, day of week, marquee matchups, and playoff demand can all push prices up.

For Dallas Stars games, standard seats are approximately $25–$150+, with premium seating higher. Lower-bowl seats near the glass and high-demand matchups typically command stronger prices.

For concerts, tickets typically range from about $40–$250+ depending on the artist. High-demand headliners, floor seats, lower-bowl locations, and premium areas can run well above that range.

For family shows and comedy, entry prices can start as low as approximately $25–$40, with mid-tier seats commonly around $50–$100 depending on the production and seat location.

Buying earlier generally yields better seat selection and pricing, particularly for high-demand concerts and playoff games. As inventory shrinks and the event date approaches, prices for the best remaining sections often rise.

American Airlines Center Seating Guide

American Airlines Center offers several seating experiences across the 100-level lower bowl, Platinum club and suite areas, loge-style seating, and 300-level upper bowl. Concert configurations can also add floor seating in front of the stage, so the best seat depends on whether you are attending a game, concert, family show, or comedy event.

Best Seats at American Airlines Center

• Best value: Upper-bowl 300-level sections, especially behind the baskets or at the corners and ends, usually offer the most accessible prices while still keeping you inside the main arena atmosphere.
• Closest to the action: Courtside and floor seats bring basketball fans closest to the court, lower-bowl sections nearest the glass put hockey fans close to the ice, and floor sections place concertgoers nearest the stage.
• Best overall experience: Lower-bowl 100-level sideline and center sections offer a strong combination of proximity and sightlines for both sports and concerts.
• Premium and suite options: Platinum club seats, loge boxes, and luxury suites provide premium amenities, upgraded service, and a more private event experience.
• For groups: Designated group blocks and suites can accommodate fans attending together, especially for high-demand games, concerts, and special events.
• General admission: Most events use reserved seating, while some concerts may include GA floor configurations for a more flexible floor experience.

You can view an interactive seating map for American Airlines Center events directly on BoxOfficeTicketSales.com while browsing available listings. The map lets you compare sections side by side, check row depth and distance from the stage or court, and see real-time pricing for what's currently available — all before committing to a purchase.

Can I See Where My Seats Are?

Yes. The interactive seat map on BoxOfficeTicketSales.com shows your exact section and row placement before you buy.

Getting Ready for Your American Airlines Center Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical steps make your visit run significantly smoother — especially for a major arena in Victory Park where sold-out games and concerts can bring heavy arrival traffic.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Mobile service can be congested around large sellout events. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the entrance without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. For marquee events, parking lots and Victory Park roads fill and congest close to event time.
• Wear the right footwear. American Airlines Center is a standard arena with concourse walking and stairs between levels, so comfortable shoes help if your seats require moving between concourses.
• Plan for indoor comfort. The arena is indoor and climate-controlled, with outdoor exposure mostly limited to the walk between parking, transit, rideshare zones, and the arena.
• Know your entrance. Reviewing your section and nearest entry portal before arriving helps streamline entry for large, sold-out events.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
