I had my bach party here and I was very surprised about all the different performances that were lined up during our Mavs game. The drumline team and the dance team really grooved out. They also had a bunch of games prior to the actual game as well. I was not on a good level of alcohol but everyone had so much grace to just let me have a good time evenhough I was from another team. I really appreciated the hospitality and giving us the opportunity to see this beautiful stadium. It was great seeing the rookie play and show out! Cooper is a top 3 rookie all around that I have seen. read more

We came here from out of town for a Friday night concert. The doors opened at 6:00 p.m., and there were numerous lines with very little direction on which line was for what. Some lines were moving extremely slowly, causing people to leave and join other lines that appeared to be moving faster. There were staff members present, but it seemed like merchandise lines, VIP lines, and general admission lines were all mixed together and going in different directions. Many attendees were frustrated and confused while trying to figure out where they needed to go. There needs to be better organization, clearer signage, and improved crowd management protocols. Overall, the entry process was very chaotic and made navigating the venue unnecessarily difficult. read more

Stopped by here a while back for a Dallas Mavericks game on Halloween. The atmosphere was really cool and there were murals of each player set up outside as you walked into the AAC. When you arrive you can either park on the street, in a nearby garage or take the DART down to victory park station and walk into the stadium. Once you arrive you'll likely walk by the Dirk statue off of Nowitzki Way and walk past a few businesses to get into the stadium. Also you'll want to stand in line early as the lines can get long to enter and if your seats are in the upper levels the escalators can take a while. Our seats for this game were on the upper level so we headed up the escalators and found our seats. Once inside you'll be transported to a loud sports venue. This game came down to the wire, but unfortunately the Mavs ended up losing by a few points. If you enjoy watching sports, I highly recommend checking out a Mavs game. read more

I flew from OK to VT to help my daughter with her delivery of her first child . I live in tornado alley and was concerned that the flight would be cancelled due to weather concerns. I have a hard time flying with a heart condition anyway but be left in a place such as Chicago and can't get to my destination, it would devastate me and it was only logical to cancel the flight and drive . And know that I will get home safe . But to never be able to get a partial refund on my fight is unacceptable. I had no problem with even a 1/4 of the cost . But give me a credit that I can NOT and will NOT use is horrible customer service. I am not asking for a full refund of my return flight, I am asking for a partial refund. I will never let my family fly with a cheap pathetic airline again . read more

Pretty big stadium that is capable of hosting more than just the Dallas Maverick's games. This visit was all about a special event called the Big 3 basketball tournament. The event was well organized even though there were some minor delays. Like any stadium you want clean bathrooms, which this stadium had. Next you want good concession options, and American Airlines center provided that too. Like any stadium you are going to spend a lot of money on overpriced food and alcohol items. But you're paying for the whole experience and you just accept the high cost. Only issue I had with the stadium is their chairs. They are waaaay to small, you literally feel like your sitting in your kids kindergarten class chairs. read more

As a born and raised Lakers fan, I just couldn't have my first visit to American Airlines Center be for a Mavs game- although I can't wait to go for a game but am I going to watch the Mavs or just hoping Meg will be there?!? I also need to catch some boy aquarium action, because who doesn't love a good hockey fight? I snagged a solo seat to Dave Chappelle Friday night. A colleague said to valet at the W, so smart! I did just that and walked right across the street. Traffic is a nightmare around here, I suppose that's to be expected but def jam packed. Lines to get in were outrageous. I think this had to do with all phones/watches etc being pouched and locked. Dave is really onto something, this is some Dad shit if I've ever seen it. Lock every bodies phones up and pay attention, we're going to be present this evening. I liked it! But did not appreciate the lengthy process to get it. The show was a f*cken riot!!!! I made it in time for the final opener, Donnell Rawlings took me out!!!! I haven't laughed like this in a long time. I can hate this town and I can love it, two things can be true ;) you'll get it when this hits Netflix and no it's not the special that dropped after last nights fight but God I love the English! Imma have to watch that back in slow motion since I was inside laughing at Dave's jokes. Acoustics were great! My dad's a musician and this type of thing isn't lost on me. I'm guessing, it's a great venue for a concert and sports. I'll certainly be back here and was happy to peep the scene last night. read more

American Airlines Center - Solo date of my choice, first visit to American Airlines to see Mr. Chappelle - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Dallas, Texas

This stadium is great! I've been for concerts and most recently to the Dallas Stars game. Both times getting in through security and scanning tickets was a breeze. Usually they open another set of doors if the line gets too long, so I've never really had to wait (except for when I've arrived early before the doors open). Parking varies. I have used the Lexus garage which was so close to the AAC, but it ran me $50. Getting out was tricky, ended up waiting almost an hour in line to get out. BUT this most recent visit we parked in the Inspiration Lot (I suggest paying online to get the best price) which was $6 and gave us a nice little walk. It was safe, lighted and there were always people/police around so it wasn't secluded. Getting out was way easier too. As for seating: I've gotten both nosebleeds tickets and suite tickets for events. For the Stars game you can't go wrong with seats since they have all the screens on and you get a great view no matter. For the concert, they did NOT turn on the screen so that kind of stunk but it was still super fun. Fun times at the AAC! read more

The American Airlines is a typical arena. The seats seem to be small so everyone is on top of each other. The bathrooms were clean. The attendants are always helpful with finding seats. The food and drinks are your typical prices for arenas. I brought a clear bag that was size of a Fanny pack . I'm not sure about parking fees . I always take the train. read more

What a nice looking area. I love how they have modernized it but still kept some of that art deco charm. This stadium also has the most decently priced concessions I've seen. We sat pretty high up and we're still able to see everything really well. For parking we parked maybe a 8-10 min walk away to avoid all the traffic. Wasn't bad read more

American Airlines Center is an awesome venue for a Mavericks game or hockey match. The energy in the arena is electric, and every seat feels close to the action. The atmosphere makes game night so much fun, whether you're a die-hard fan or just there for the experience. Even the nosebleed section isn't so bad, especially with the huge screens that make it easy to follow every play. The venue is well organized, easy to navigate, and packed with great food and drink options. Watching the Mavs play here is always a great time. Highly recommend catching a game at AAC! read more

An epic weekend! My youngest son and I were able to spend a weekend at the American Airlines Center. Saturday in the lower 300 level for a Mavericks game, then lower 100s for a Stars game on a Sunday. Both games we arrived via Uber. I wanted to take the Dart but lack of parking at the DART station (we were 3 miles away) was the issue. Everyone we encountered was great. Didn't do a lot with concessions. Prices were on the high side. No issues getting in and the arena is great. Sight lines were great and a little more room in the seats in the 100 level. Crowd was a little more raucous for the Stars. I'd go to this arena again in a second. Great venue! Not a lot in the area to pregame but you will find something. read more

Had great seats to a show and was able to walk-up to the window on the performance date and get tickets without the extra fees. The seats were excellent and the exit and entrance was smooth.

We had a blast at the Dallas Mavericks game at American Airlines Center! From the moment we arrived the atmosphere was full of excitement. The crowds were decked out in Mavs gear. The arena itself feels modern and well-maintained, and you've got great views from almost anywhere you sit. Food options are surprisingly good for an arena. Great vibes, awesome crowd energy, and way more food variety than I expected. I'll definitely be back! read more

T8TE!!!! Concert vibes. We had a fast walk through in the early VIP outdoor line. Bracelets were given per ticket purchase and if you bought pit access tickets, those were also handed out. Around the corner from the VIP line was a table and tent set up for merch. I'm sure other concerts have the same setup while you wait. Security moves pretty smoothly just ensure you look at AAC website for bag and other check in policies. I noticed several girls/women with smaller purses allowed in (just ensure the size is met) Also looks like battery blocks for cellphones are allowed and smaller cameras, not Cannon style, think more portable. Sound checks were a hit because T8's concert was so lit on the sound and all the lighting and effects along with props were spot on and so neat! Amazing experience and I would definitely go to another concert of hers! read more

Attended the American Airlines Center for the first time to watch the Mavericks vs. Clippers, and it was an amazing experience. The game went into double overtime, making it an exciting night and a great return to attending an NBA game after several years. The atmosphere was such crazy , with great energy throughout the arena, and the food and drinks were great as well. As a bonus, we even won a free trip to Hawaii during one of the in-arena promotions. Don't skip out on the promotional booths because you never know what you might walk away with. Overall, a fantastic experience and a venue I would recommend. read more

Why 4 stars? Because I don't really have much to complain about, but it wasn't overly impressive either. --- --- --- I finally did something I've been meaning to do for years: go to Dallas when the Cavs were in town. AAC is the 7th active arena that I've seen a game in, and there was some uniqueness to it, but it was mostly a pretty vanilla experience. I stayed right next door at the W, so I did not have to deal with parking or traffic at all - I definitely recommend that for other future visitors, EXCEPT that parking at the W comes at the price of $60, which was jaw dropping. However, my seat in section 310 was approximately 500 steps from my bed, so that was tough to beat. One small hiccup upon entering was basically the only one of the night: the guys working security were a hot mess. Getting through the metal detectors was quite chaotic and disorganized - it was as if it was everyone's first night on the job. But this inconvenience lasted about two minutes, and then it was smooth sailing. I walked along the entire concourse of the 100 section and the 300 section because I entered the arena right when gates opened and had plenty of time to kill. The unique thing about this building is that it feels more like you are walking through the halls of an art museum than an NBA arena. It's hard to describe, but it just didn't feel like a sports venue to me - not in a bad way, it was just different. The 100 level has some interesting sponsorship areas in it. There are maybe like 8 spiraly corner sections that are all decked out in sponsor logos in a really visually stimulating way. The 300 level has the same thing, but it's a very, very, very minimal version of it. These sponsors clearly paid a lot less and got the most drabby little room possible with a few TVs that have videos playing on them. They felt more like a doctor's office waiting room - and I DO mean this in a bad way. I was only walking in the concourses when there were very few people in the building, so I did not experience any crowdedness first hand, but I did feel like the halls were incredibly narrow. I don't know where all the bodies would fit when everyone leaves at once - but I opted to just stay in my seat and wait until there was no more foot traffic. The video board is a bit smaller than some of the other arenas I've been to, but it's certainly still plenty big. The PA announcer was entertaining, but the in game entertainment was a bit on the generic side. I'm sure the atmosphere would have been better if my Cavs didn't make the game so non-competitive against a Mavs squad with no Luka or Kyrie. To be honest, I wouldn't need to come back again, but I'm glad I finally checked this off my list! 3 hours each way is a long way to drive for a basketball game that lasts 2.5. read more

I've been to concerts here before and maybe it's because Cardi's concert was sold out; but getting in those doors was a hot mess! The lines were long and once you got to a door, there was no more line, just people pushing and shoving to get in. Honestly, at that point; it was kind of understandable. Doors were supposed to open at 7:30 and by 8:30 the lines were still super long. Once I finally made it inside, I didn't even risk missing the show by running to the bathroom or buying a drink. I've also seen a lot of posts from other venues doing cute photo ops and things like that for the concert, but I didn't see anything like that done here which is a bummer. read more

One employee at the CHIME entrance gave me the worst possible experience I've ever had at American Airlines Center! I mistakenly came in thru the wrong Chime entrance. I explqined the confusion, but she talked rude to me, and she wouldn't give a Mavs hat. She treated me like an inferior man. It was embarrassing. An they still had more than 100 hats left over. **There was a big Latino event, and she didn't want to even give me one hat.) read more

My wife and I went here for a Cardi B concert. It's definitely a nice venue. The arena is huge. I wish the lines to get in were quicker. I'm not sure what was going on with security, but it took some time to enter the arena. Also, our view was a bit obstructed depending on where she was performing on stage. It would've been nice if they listed that the seats had an obstructed view, especially for the amount of money we paid. Overall, it was a good experience and we enjoyed the concert. read more

American Airlines Center? This is more for the American Airlines Center Box office. If I could I would leave no stars, I would. First time having an experience like this so it's worth noting. After many years of going to concerts here, I don't know what the issue was last night at the Cardi B concert but depending on which ticket window you went to, you got different customer service and different ticket availability'. Missed the beginning of the concert because the first representative said she didn't have tickets but we watched people buy tickets off of her. Next window we went to stated they only had 1 ticket available with obstructed view for $220. Third window, she had two set of tickets, one set for $215 a piece and the other set for $325 a piece. When asked for clarification, the only tickets available were $325. This kind of systematic issue to scheme is problematic and really lacked decorum. read more

I have lived in DFW for 3 years, but this was the first time I had the opportunity to go to a Mavs game. My friends and I came to the game to celebrate my friend's birthday and we were able to get last minute tickets at a pretty decent price considering. We rode the bus to the American Airlines Center and got dropped almost curbside which was great and we didn't have to pay for parking. . The Mavs showed out and won the game. We had a lot of fun. The American airline center offers a variety of food options and drink options. We chose popcorn, pretzels and nachos. The staff was very helpful and they guided us to our seats. It wasn't too difficult to get in and out of the bathrooms if you went before halftime. My friend went then and had to stand in line for about 15 minutes. I would definitely come back again and watch the Mavs play. read more

We've been to this arena a few times during the past few years to watch Mavericks games, it's always a good time. They are very organized, and getting through security is always simple and quick. I do wish they had a better parking lot situation though! The drinks and food are all overpriced which is to be expected at any arena, $17 for cocktails and around $15-20 for each food entree. My baby boy recently went to his first NBA game and he had a blast! The security let him on the court to take photos, they were really sweet. I'll definitely be back for more games and concerts! Just make sure you leave your house or hotel early because the traffic and parking lot get crazy! read more

I've been to the American Airlines Center for several concerts. It is a decent venue located in downtown Dallas. The facility is clean, well maintained, and the staff are always kind. Parking can be found nearby. We usually try to arrive early, park in one of the surface lots a block away and then head to the venue to get checked in and make our way to our seats. Seats - these will come in different price ranges depending on the performer, but I highly advise against the very top balcony. These nose bleed seats require the escalator of shame, but the most punishing thing is trying to navigate the narrow steep steps in this cliffhanger section. Many of us had to hang on to the banister and go very slowly up the steps. One wrong missed place foot, and you could easily tumble to your death and take others with you. Getting into your row is also an issue on this steep plane of seats. There is very little clearance between the rows of seats. One man seated got up to let me scooch by and was gracious about holding my hand and guiding me so I wouldn't fall. Another man in the row in front of me actually didn't clear the cup holder when heading to his seat. He tripped and spilled his drink all over the woman seated in front of him. That poor woman sat there drenched for the entire show. Pay extra money. Buy your tickets early. Get a decent seat in one of the lower sections. Skip the highest balcony at all costs! Had there been an emergency, there is no way people could have evacuated quickly from this section. Airplanes have lower clearance than these nose bleed seats. We were above the rafters! Unfortunately, they didn't use the highest Jumbotron. We had to squint to see the show...even on the lower screens. We did not end up buying food. Some of the booths were closed. A few were only selling drinks. I didn't want to attempt to take these items back to my seat. I also didn't want to make everyone get up in my row later on as I turtled my way past them twice for a restroom break. The sound system was great. We could hear the show fine even though we were five rows from the very tippy top and back of the venue. In fact, the best part of these seats was that the sound wasn't too loud. I didn't have to use earplugs. Had I been in a seat closer to the floor, I probably would have needed them. I'm certain I will return, but only if I can get decent seats. read more

Went to see Nate Bargatze on his Big Dumb Eyes tour. He was great and his warm ups were quite good. BUT I was lead to believe there wasn't a bad set in the house because he performs in the round.

American Airlines Center is a multi-purpose area located in the Victory Park neighborhood in Downtown Dallas that opened up on July 17, 2001. It is home to the Dallas Stars and Dallas Mavericks. It has a seating capacity of 20,000 seats and varies from each event. I have been coming to the arena since they opened up to watch my favorite NHL team, the Dallas Stars, where they previously played in Reunion Area. The arena is beautiful inside and out, and just about every seat is a great seat for viewing. Inside, they have escalators and elevevators to use to get up to top floors as well. There are tons of food vendors and restaurants located inside the arena, and they even have bars inside, too. There are stores inside that sell merchandise for each event, such as jerseys and hats, for the occasion. Outside the arena, there are multiple bars and restaurants within walking distance, and they even have more fan apparel stores as well. They even have an immortalized statue of the famous Dirk Nowitzki outside, and soon on March 16, 2024, they will immortalize one of the greatest American hockey players, Mike Modano. I always enjoy coming here with friends and family to catch a game, and soon, my dream will to become a Dallas Stars Season ticket holder. The Victory Park neighborhood is very beautiful at night with lights throughout the city, and there are many parking options available nearby. read more

We went to a Mavs game during Thanksgiving break, which was super fun for the entire family. We got there super early because my father in law was worried about the crowds for a televised game. We may have been one of the first people in the stadium arriving 45 min early, but it did allow us time to buy merch and food. The food was about the same as I find at the United Center back in Chicago. My kids enjoyed hot dogs, my husband went the bbq route (cause in Texas) and I got chicken tacos at the Tex Mex station (also a must when in Texas). They were pretty good! For dessert my kids insisted on cookie dough- the small size was probably five times the size it needed to be. Parking was easy - blue lot was the way to go.

We came to see the Dallas stars play and to check this arena off my list of hockey arenas to visit. It lives up to the name American Airlines. The arena had that airport lobby feel, minus the stress of flying and rushing around while dragging your suite cases. The only rushing around that took place during our visit were the hockey players on ice trying to get goals. The outside is quite grand with full-blown restaurants you can stop in before the game or a show. Had I known, we would have waited to grab some food. If you didn't know, now you do! I wasn't super picky with our seats but turned out, there's really no bad seat in the house as the seating was nicely spaced to ensure the short people like myself (yes, this is for all the short ones out there) do not have to crane their necks trying to follow the game or watch the show. I picked one at the end where the home team shot twice. We weren't disappointed. The only complaint I have is the karaoke ladies behind us who talked and sang the whole game. I could have done without that little number. Not a point against the arena whatsoever. Inside the arena, there were several concessions with food and drinks for your snacking and beverage needs. My husband even found a place that made actual cocktails. Ones we would drink! The arena is huge and well-kept. The staff ensured there was a good flow with the crowd. Numerous parking locations are available within a mile or 2. read more

I came here for the Dallas Mavericks game the day before Thanksgiving. I took a ride share so can't really comment on the parking lot situation. It did get quite backed up with traffic around the stadium so we ended up asking to be let out earlier. There's different entrances with security so that was a bit confusing as to which section to enter into. I did get to check out the different team stores and those were cool. Overall, wherever you sit in the arena is a pretty good. I sat in the 300 level and thought it was alright and was able to view everything well. read more
