@AEWPRTeam@mikeowens1 A couple of details missed. Cody chose to put himself in the mid card at AEW. You also left out why he got booed. Fans wanted him to turn heel because it would have been the perfect character arc for him. Happy he’s had this rise at WWE, but don’t ignore how we got here.
@KevOnStage DFW is a fantastic airport. Say what you want about the SkyLink, but it’s an excellent system and allows the airport to keep expanding efficiently. There is not a better big airport in the US in my opinion.
@shg490@TheAbbieC@DallasStars@bradalberts20 I never said it’s “undoubtedly good” and definitely did not hint at that either. However, I don’t see how the Stars had any realistic opportunities to stay in Downtown Dallas given the situation. This was their best option from an economic feasibility standpoint.
@shg490@TheAbbieC@DallasStars@bradalberts20 Agreed there. But what can they do about it? Ultimately, more assets in the team’s name, especially real estate, boosts the value of the franchise. It’s not about fandom anymore, which is sad.
@shg490@TheAbbieC@DallasStars@bradalberts20 Dallas wasn’t going to give them anything. That’s a total fallacy. What land has been brought up? The jail? Give me a break. Of course it was a real estate play. I never said it wasn’t. To act like leaving downtown is shortsighted when no feasible options exist makes zero sense.
@DLLS_Stars I’m for the move because the Stars don’t really have another fasible choice. Growth is going that direction, and it makes lots of sense if the city is going to put up $700M to support the project.
@rojofo27 It’s a negative impact for those fans out West. No doubt. The positive impact is it’s now in the backyard of the area where by far the most growth is happening.
@RentemSpoons214@HarleyMesquite@DallasStars I’ve been with this company for 11 years. Our office moved from Coppell to here. It’s actually moving again, but to another building right off Park and the Tollway. Should be very nice for Stars games!
@MikeChittar@lynziekate@yourguycharles This right here. Obviously, there was an oversight with the 1998 operating agreement that clearly the Stars and former Mavs ownership missed. The city only made this problem worse by not stepping in and putting this dispute to a stop, ultimately forcing the Stars out
@lynziekate@yourguycharles Sadly, the Mavericks gave the Stars no choice when they strong armed the Stars out of their piece of the arena entity. Additionally, the city siding with the Mavericks in hopes of keeping them in the city limits ultimately led to this outcome.
@shg490@TheAbbieC@DallasStars@bradalberts20 It’s really easy to go tell them to spend $1B+ of their own money, but they won’t do it. Also, the Mavericks still hold the card of moving out of Dallas if the city of Irving puts up the money to help them develop by the old Texas Stadium location.
@shg490@TheAbbieC@DallasStars@bradalberts20 The Mavericks used both the City of Dallas and the Stars as a vehicle for this plan to Valley View. The Stars don’t really have an option they can afford though. The City of Dallas doesn’t have the money to put up for an arena, so why would the Stars not chase that $700M grant?
@shg490@TheAbbieC@DallasStars@bradalberts20 After the lease term is up, the arena entity has the ability to purchase the AAC and its grounds for $1M. The Mavericks were awarded 100% control of the arena entity. That means in 2031, the Mavericks can then purchase the AAC for nothing and then flip it to the highest bidder
@shg490@TheAbbieC@DallasStars@bradalberts20 The Stars would not pay market value for that land, which I estimate at over $15M per acre. To put it in perspective, the Valley View site is valued at just under $2.5M per acre. Of course the Stars would chase the grant from a city like Plano. They couldn’t afford the AAC.
@shg490@TheAbbieC@DallasStars@bradalberts20 I could say the same of you. Apparently, you have no idea how real estate, business, and political positioning work. I’m in the business of corporate real estate by the way
