Big news is on the horizon for Dallas Stars fans and the broader North Texas sports community: a new arena is officially in the works, and a top-tier design firm has been chosen to bring it to life.
HNTB, a nationally recognized architecture and engineering firm, has been selected to design the Dallas Stars’ new NHL arena in Texas, according to Coliseum Global Sports Venue Alliance. The announcement marks a major milestone in the project, moving it from concept closer to reality for the franchise and its passionate fan base.
A new, purpose-built arena promises to elevate the game-day experience for Stars fans while also serving as a premier destination for concerts, family shows, and major events throughout the year. Venues of this scale typically become anchors for surrounding neighborhoods, drawing visitors, supporting local businesses, and generating community pride well beyond hockey season.
HNTB brings deep expertise in large-scale sports and transit infrastructure, making the firm a fitting choice to shape what could become one of the most exciting new landmarks in the Dallas-Fort Worth region. While full design details have not yet been released, the selection of a lead designer signals that the project is gaining real momentum.
For a city that takes its sports seriously — from the Mavericks to the Cowboys to the Stars — a brand-new, state-of-the-art hockey arena is the kind of investment that resonates far beyond the rink. Dallas Stars fans have plenty of reasons to look forward to what’s coming next.
