The Plano Stars
Dont like it all, part of the perks of living downtown is being able to walk to the games. As matter of fact
I want the organization to do well obviously but it does suck that they r making it a thing for only the wealthy…a few years ago I got my whole family into my favorite sport by getting the holiday hat trick for $99 my family won't be attending any more games with the price more than that
I mean seeing how I'm in McKinney I can't hate this for convenience, but it obviously feels wrong in the same way the Cowboys have been in Irving/Arlington for my entire lifetime.
Might as well call them the Texas Stars since the rep the entire state
A move would be convenient for me just because of the long drive. But when tickets go up in price, I guess it doesn't matter to me, I won't be able to go. I can't afford them now.
Going to Plano would be a massive mistake. There is a very close connection between Fort Worth, Arlington, and Dallas and by going to Plano you would cut off a pretty significant portion of the metroplex being that far at Plano as the TRE wouldn’t be useful for travel.
My suggestion is if they were to move, put them at Dickie‘s Arena in Fort Worth. It’s a brand new building with tons of premium seating and social space with plenty of commercial development space nearby which they could easily buy up in the surrounding area.
I say Fort Worth because the identity in all the stars marketing is a Cowtown-style vibe and not only do you have plenty of money in Fort Worth but it’s also a tourist destination now with the stockyards, so you would get plenty of every night from local and people visiting
Hopefully, if they do move, it’s like a 49ers situation where they still keep the title of “San Francisco” despite being way south
HOOP
Correct me if im wrong but it sounds like they want to move because theres not enough overpriced/unaffordable seats in AAC?
