Wings in 'advanced negotiations' to move to American Airlines Center for 2027 season in major upgrade
The Wings currently play home games at the College Park Center on campus at UT-Arlington.
The Dallas Wings are close to making a move to a bigger arena. Wings head coach Jose Fernandez revealed on Tuesday that the franchise will play all of their games next season at the American Airlines Center, where the Dallas Mavericks and Dallas Stars play. That would be a major step up from the College Park Center, the shared arena they currently play at on the campus of UT-Arlington.
But Fernendez, apparently, jumped the gun on the announcement. The Wings are only in “advanced negotiations” with the American Airlines Center. “We do not have a finalized agreement, nor have we achieved the approvals from the league that you technically need to have to change venue for a season,” Wings CEO Greg Bibb told USA Today .
“So while I’m optimistic that we’re going to have news on that front soon, we do not have that news as of today. That’s important. ” While nothing is official just yet, it sounds like a move for the team is right around the corner.
The Wings relocated to Dallas from Tulsa ahead of the 2016 season. They currently share the College Park Center with UT-Arlington. That venue seats up to 7,000 fans.
