American Airlines Center Designs

[Paula Martin]

According to the article American Airlines Center Designs, Dallas natives prefer a more nostalgic, historical set for their major centers. However, the new Arena has " freeways and railroad tracks and glittering steel-and-glass skyscrapers." The designers believes this helps tell the past and well as the future of this Dallas monument.

The architect, David Schwarz aims for popularity. He believes that fans will favor this building for years to come. The new arena is created from the 1998 design that the Stars and Mavericks organized. Although it was considered impractical it contained a familiarity of what was originally desired by the athletes. It caters to luxury.

At $420 million, the major designs showed that they were thinking BIG, but big is bigger always better?
