City Council is scheduled to vote on a resident use and incentive agreement for the Dallas Memorial Auditorium, part of the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center downtown.
The Dallas Wings play in College Park Center on the University of Texas at Arlington campus and the basketball season typically runs from the beginning of training camp in April to the league finals in October. College Park Center seats about 7,000. Johnson’s office and Bibb, the Dallas Wings’ president and CEO, did not immediately respond to requests for comment Saturday. Bill Cameron, the Wings’ lead owner and chairman, did not immediately respond to a request for comment Saturday at a number listed for him. A University of Texas at Arlington spokesperson did not immediately answer questions from The News about the school’s agreement with the Wings.
The City Council in February awarded an almost three-year, nearly $7.7 million contract to national architecture, engineering and construction management firm McKissack & McKissack for the arena renovation and reconstruction.City officials said last year that they hoped the arena upgrades would include adding more seats, improving the overall infrastructure and making the facility compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The city estimated in January 2023 that it would need $2.8 billion to build the new convention center, with a new deck park over Interstate 30 nearby. Separately, the city estimated it’ll need more than $386 million to renovate and reconstruct the arena and The Black Academy of Arts and Letters, which are both attached to the current convention center.
